energy
quantitative property that provides the ability to ‘do work’ or ‘supply heat’
potential energy (locked-in energy)
stored energy
kinetic energy (movement)
energy in motion
thermodynamics
science of the relationship between heat and other forms of energy
1 J =
1 Nm
1 J =
1 kg m^2s^-2
calorie (cal)
energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1 degree Celsius (1 cal = 4.184 J)
Calorie (C)
used to represent energy content of our food; 1 C = 1000 cal
The Law of Conservation of Energy
energy can be converted from one form into another, but it CANNOT be created or destroyed. The total energy of the universe is constant
universe
system + surrounding
open system
matter can be transferred through opening in the flask; heat can be conducted through flask walls
closed system
flask is stoppered so no matter can be transferred; heat can be conducted through the flask walls
isolated system
heat transfer is prevented by the vacuum flask; matter cannot be transferred
isothermal change
heat is exchanged between system and surroundings, so their temperatures are equal
adiabatic change
no heat exchange between system and surroundings, so their temperatures may not be equal
heat (q)
energy transferred from one system to another due to a temperature difference
temperature (T)
measure of ‘how hot’ something is (kinetic energy) and ability to transfer heat to other systems or surroundings
extensive property
a property of matter that changes as the amount of matter changes
is heat an extensive or intensive property?
extensive
intensive property
property of matter that does not change as the amount of matter changes
is temperature an extensive or intensive property?
intensive
work (w)
involves energy exchange as a result of motion against an opposing force (F)
work equation
w = Fd
when a system does work on the surroundings,
it loses energy
