    Study Notes

    Introduction to Energy

    • Energy is defined by its effect on matter.
    • The forms of energy include mechanical, thermal, radiant, electrical, nuclear, and chemical.

    Mechanical Energy

    • Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.

    Kinetic Energy

    • Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
    • The equation for kinetic energy is EK= ½ mv2 = ½ m (v22 - v12).

    Potential Energy

    • Potential energy is stored energy.
    • The equation for potential energy is EP= mg∆h = mg(h2 – h1).

    Thermal Energy

    • Thermal energy results from atomic and molecular motion.
    • The temperature of an object is a measure of its thermal energy content.

    Radiant Energy

    • Radiant energy is the energy carried by light, microwaves, and radio waves.

    Electrical Energy

    • Electrical energy results from the flow of electrically charged particles.

    Nuclear Energy

    • Nuclear energy results from nuclear reactions or changes in the atomic nuclei.

    Chemical Energy

    • Chemical energy results from chemical reactions between atoms or molecules.

    The Law of Conservation of Energy

    • Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

    Heat and Work - Forms of Energy Transfer

    • Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between systems.
    • Work is the transfer of mechanical energy between two systems.

    Work

    • Work (w) is calculated by the equation w = F∆d.
    • w = F∆d cosØ is another equation to calculate work.

    Heat

    • Heat (q) is the transfer of thermal energy between molecules within a system.
    • Heat always flows from high temperature to low temperature.

    Calorimetry

    • Calorimetry is the process of measuring the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction or physical change.
    • The general equation used is: qrxn = -qsoln.
    • A bomb calorimeter is a device that measures the heat of combustion.
    • The equation used to calculate the amount of heat produced by a bomb calorimeter is: qrxn=−(qwater+qbomb).
