Study Notes
Thermochemistry and Energy Changes
- Physical and chemical changes are accompanied by energy changes.
- Energy is released or absorbed during these changes.
First Law of Thermodynamics
- The law explains the concept of energy conversion and conservation.
Types of Chemical Reactions
-
Exothermic Reactions: Energy is released to the surroundings during a chemical change.
- Example: Condensation (gas to liquid), energy is released to form bonds.
-
Endothermic Reactions: Energy is absorbed from the surroundings during a chemical change.
- Example: Boiling (liquid to gas), energy is absorbed to break bonds.
Interconversion of Energy
- Chemical to Electrical Energy: Energy conversion in batteries.
- Energy can be converted from one form to another.
