Study Notes
Energy and Its Forms
- Energy is the ability to do work or cause a change and is measured in units of joules (J).
- Forms of energy include:
- Potential energy (stored energy)
- Energy we experience (sound, light, kinetic, thermal, electrical, and mechanical energy)
Types of Potential Energy
- Chemical energy (stored in food, fuel)
- Nuclear energy (stored in the center of particles)
- Gravitational energy (stored in an object when above the Earth's surface)
Energy Transfer Processes
- Conduction: transfer of energy by direct contact
- Convection: transfer of energy by the movement of fluids
- Radiation: transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
Law of Conservation of Energy
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system, it can only be transferred or transformed from one form to another
Energy Transfer in Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve a transfer of energy between the system and the surroundings
- Total energy is conserved, meaning it cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another or transferred between the system and its surroundings
- The system refers to the components involved in the chemical reaction
- The surroundings encompass everything outside the system
Temperature and Heat
- Temperature is a quantitative measurement often associated with heat
- Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles measured in units of K or °C
- Heat is the energy transferred from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature measured in units of J
