what are the 3 different forms of energy?
Kinetic energy
potential energy
chemical energy
KINETIC ENERGY?
Energy possessed by an object because of motion.
ex:waterfall, falling rock
POTENTIAL ENERGY?
Form of stored energy, the capacity to perform work
ex-water behind dam
fossil fuels
name a fossil fuel in form of hydrocarbon?
gasoline
name a fossil fuel in form of carbon?
coal
when is the chemical energy stored ins fossil fuels released?
when they are burned into combustion engine.
all chemical molecules store________.
energy
why do different molecules have various potential energy?
due to the arrangement of their atoms
what is thermodynamics or thermodynamic system?
a branch of physics concerning the study of energy, conversion of energy between diff forms and the ability of energy to do work.
FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS?
LAW OF ENERGY CONSERVATION
WHAT DO U MEAN BY LAW OF ENERGY OF CONSERVATION?
The total amount of energy in the universe remains constant
energy can be changed one ______ to another?
form
SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS?
LAW OF ENERGY CONVERSIONS
THE LAW OF ENERGY CONVERSIONS
Reducing the order of universe, increasing its entropy
what do u mean by RANDOMNESS in thermodynamic?
amount of disorder in a system.
what is the spontaneous direction of energy flow acc to 2 law of thermodynamics?
rich energy to less organized (less energy)
the amount of “lower quality” energy in the universe is ____________?
increasing
some energy is always lost as ________?
HEAT
What is imp for energy conversions?
Energy input
what happens to a organized system without energy input?
it gets disorganized
CELLULAR METABOLISM?
Sum of chemical activities in a living cell.
_______ increases rate of chemical reaction without the need For an increase in ________.
ENZYMES, TEMPRATURE
enzymes are a group of _________.
catalysts
In a cell, what group of enzymes catalyzes the removal of a phosphate group from a range of molecules.
PHOSPHATASES
In the presence of phosphatase the removal of phosphate takes how much time?
10 milliseconds
_________ radiation is also a form of energy.
ELECTROMAGNETIC
What happens to the energy level of electrons on gain of energy?
moves to higher energy level i.e. further away from nucleus.
what happens to electrons on loss of energy>
moves to lower energy levels, closer to nucleus.
what is the energy level near nucleus?
near nucleus,
First energy level(lowest energy)
second energy level
Third energy level (Highest energy)
Everything outside the system is called the ___________.
Surrounding
Isolated system?
does not exchange matter or energy
Closed system?
exchange energy, not matter with its surroundings
Open system
both energy and matter can move freely b/w the system and surroundings
The higher the waterfall, The __________ kinetic energy it will possess.
more
what is entropy
tendency of energy to become dispersed or spread out is defined as entropy
SPONTANEOUS PROCESS?
A process that occurs without a constant input of energy
entropy is measure of __________ or ____________.
disorder or randomness
what happens if entropy of system and surrounding increase?
energy and matter will becomes more spread out
ENTHALPY?
Heat content of a system (ΔH)
exothermic reaction?
process that releases heat
ΔH is negative
endothermic reaction?
system taking up heat from its surroundings
ΔH is positive
example of exothermic reaction?
burning of wood
example of endothermic reaction?
melting of ice
what technique is used to measure change in heat of a chemical reaction?
calorimetry
how does change in enthalpy and entropy influences the spontaneity of process?
1.reaction-spontaneous-exothermic
2.entropy of products greater than entropy of reactants
