Ch. 6 EnergyThis is a featured page

Energy
  • The Ability to do work
  • Bonds store chemical energy (break bond=release, make bond=use energy)
  • Kinetic Energy: energy in motion
  • Potential Energy: stored energy
Heat
  • The amount of the thermal energy
  • Extensive
Temperature
  • Measurement of average kinetic energy of a substance

  • Intensive

Temperature Phase Change Chart

Law of conservation of energy: energy can be neither created or destroyed, only transferred into different forms
1st law of thermodynamics: the energy of the universe is constant
Heat (total thermal energy/depends on amount) vs. Temperature (measure of average kinetic energy)

Exothermic-heat is transfered from a system to the surroundings. (Positive q)
Endothermic-heat is transfered from the surroundings to a system. (Negative q)

(when graph above has a slope)
q = mC(ΔT)
q is the heat transferred (J)
C is the specific heat capacity (J/g*K)
m is the mass of substance (g)
delta "t" is the change in temperature (K)

(when graph above slope is 0 )
q= mL
m is the mass of the substance (g).
L is either the latent heat of fusion or vaporization, depending on if the substance is melting or freezing. Can also be notated as ΔH (J/g)


· Sum of the heat content changes within a given system is zero

Energy Units


1 Joule = 1 kgm^2/s^2
1 calorie = 1 cal = 4.184 J
1 Calorie = 1000 cal = 1 kcal = 4184 J = 4.184 kJ (food calorie)

HH
Specific Heat Capacity (c): the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of the substance 1 K (Units: J/gK)

Energy is transferred between system and surroundings only as heat or work
system expands --> does work and is negative
system contracts --> work is done upon it and is positive
*Standard State-Most stable form of a substance in the physical state that exists at a pressure of 1 bar and at a specified temperature (usually 25 degrees celcius or 298 K).

Enthalpy Change - state function (Not dependent on path taken, only final/starting conditions)

1) When you reverse an equation, the magnitude of enthalpy change is the same but the sign is opposite.

2) Depends on number of moles (Ex. # of moles x 2 = enthalpy x 2)

3) State of matter specific


Hess's Law - If you add all of the delta H's up you get the delta H of the given equation.

do we have to know w= -P x change in V for the test tomorrow?
it was in the book, but we didnt really talk about it in class...

And is the answer key online for the one worksheet with 3 parts?

I really just don't know how to go about solving it. For example, how do you get rid of the two moles of B2O3 when that chemical compound doesn't show up anywhere else in the equaitons?

What do you remember from Physics and Chem from before in energy? What are good connections in Bio as well?
