Study Notes
Temperature and Energy
- Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a substance.
- Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat.
- Energy can be kinetic or potential.
- Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of particles.
- Potential energy is stored energy.
- The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
- The first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy.
Potential and Kinetic Energy
- Potential energy (PE) is the stored energy of an object due to its position or composition.
- Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy of an object due to its motion.
- The sum of potential and kinetic energy is constant for a system.
Chemical Potential Energy
- Chemical potential energy is stored in a substance due to its composition.
- This energy can be released or absorbed during chemical reactions.
- Combustion reactions involve the release of chemical potential energy.
Heat
- Heat is the transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
- Heat is measured in calories (cal).
- One calorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of pure water by one degree Celsius.
- The energy content of food is measured in nutritional Calories.
- One nutritional Calorie equals 1000 calories or 1 kilocalorie (kcal).
Joule
- The Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy and heat.
- 1 J = 0.239 cal.
- 1 cal = 4.184 J.
- 1 Calorie = 1000 cal = 1 Kcal
Specific Heat
- The specific heat (C) of a substance measures the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of that substance by one degree Celsius.
- Specific heat is measured in J/g °C.
- Each substance has unique specific heat due to its composition.
