Study Notes
Energy Basics
- Energy is the capacity to do work or produce heat.
- Energy exists as potential energy (stored due to composition or position) and kinetic energy (energy of motion).
- Chemical systems hold both types of energy.
Laws of Energy
- The law of conservation of energy (1st law of thermodynamics) states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
- Chemical potential energy is stored in a substance's composition and is involved in chemical reactions.
Heat and Temperature
- Heat (q) is the transfer of energy between objects with differing temperatures.
- Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles.
Energy Units
- A calorie is the energy needed to raise 1 gram of water by 1°C.
- 1 nutritional Calorie = 1000 calories = 1 kilocalorie.
- The joule (J) is the SI unit for energy, with 1 J = 0.239 calories.
Specific Heat
- Specific heat is the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C.
- Different substances exhibit unique specific heats due to their composition.
- Calculation formula: q = mcΔT (where q = heat, m = mass, c = specific heat, and ΔT = change in temperature).
Calculations
- The notes cover energy conversions (e.g., nutritional calories to joules) and specific heat problems (determining specific heat from experimental data).
Applications
- Energy changes in chemical reactions are discussed, as is managing temperature effects in structures such as bridges.
