What is kinetic energy
Energy of motion
+ anything moving has kinetic energy
What is potential energy
- Stored energy
- Dependant on condition of object
As soon as u start moving what happens to energy ?
Potential energy ~> Kinetic energy
Difference between uppercase Calorie and lowercase calorie???
Calorie (uppercase) = food calorie
calorie (lowercase) = thermal calorie
What is a joule & Kilo Joule ?
— Derived SI unit for energy
— its a v small amount of energy, so we use Kilo Joule
Unit conversions
1000 J = ___ KJ
1 KJ
UNIT CONVERSIONS
1 J = ___ cal
0.2390 cal
UNIT CONVERSIONS
4.18 J = ___ cal
1.00 cal (thermal) (3 sigfig)
Unit conversions
4.18 J = ___ Cal
1 Cal (food) (1 sigfig)
UNIT CONVERSIONS
1000 cal (thermal) = _____ Cal
= 1 Cal (food)
What is specific heat capacity?
Amount of energy (heat) needed to raise 1 gram of the substance by 1 degree Celsius
Formula for specific heat capacity ?
Heat capacity (C) = heat absorbed Q/ incr^ in temp T
— T can be (final T - initial T too)
Define Open system and give example
Can exchange BOTH ENERGY & MATTER w surroundings
Ex. An uncovered pot of potatoes boiling on the stove
=>The system absorbs energy from the stove burner. The system loses both energy and matter when the water evaporates out of the pan in the form of steam.
Define Closed system and give example
CAN exchange ENERGY NOT MATTER w/ surroundings
Ex. The pressure cooker with potatoes boiling on the stove
=> because pressure cookers are sealed. The sealed lid prevents the loss of mass, or water in the form of steam, but heat can still enter the system through contact of the pot bottom with the stove.
Isolated system
CANNOT exchange ENERGY AND MATTER w/ surroundings
Ex. A hot pan of food inside an insulated box
- no heat can go in or out
- no matter can leave the box either
Ex. the pot of potatoes inside an insulated container
=>The insulation prevents the exchange of any energy or matter between the system and its surroundings.
Universe =
System + surroundings
Define system
Set of reactants + products being observed
Define surroundings
Everything else
What happens when a system and its surrounding interact
Energy and matter get exchanged
Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
it can only change form
Good job!!
Explain this:
Δ Etotal = Δ Esys + Δ Esurr = 0
total energy of the universe is a constant; if the system loses energy, it must be gained by the surroundings, and vice versa.
Explain what each letter stands for and what we use this formula for
ΔQ = m . c . ΔT
Q = heat ethalpy (+ absorbed by the system / - left from system basically released)
M = mass
C= specific heat capacity
ΔT = change in temp
We find by (T final - T initial)
We use this to calculate amt of heat absorbed or released
Solve
A 1.0 g sample of copper is heated from 25.0°C to 31.0°C. How much heat did the sample absorb? The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g°C.
Given:
M = 1.0 g
C = 0.385/g°C
Δt = final - initial
31.0 - 25.0 = 6.00
Q = m.c.Δt
=1.0x0.385x6.00
=>2.3 J/g°C
