Ch. 5 Flashcards
This is defined as the capacity to do work or transfer heat.
Energy
All forms of energy are either _____ or _____.
Kinetic or potential
This is the energy that results from motion.
Kinetic
What is the equation for kinetic energy?
Ek=1/2mu^2
m=mass of the object
u= velocity
What are the units of measure for energy?
Joule
The kinetic energy associated with the random motion of a collection of atoms and molecules.
Thermal energy.
How are changes in Herman energy monitored?
By measuring temperature changes
Why is it called thermal dynamics?
Because energy increases as you increase temperature.
This is the energy possessed by an object by virtue if it’s position.
Potential energy
What are the two forms of potential energy?
Chemical and Electrostatic
This is energy stored within the structural units of chemical substances.
Chemical energy
The amount of chemical energy in matter depends on what?
The types of arrangements of atoms in the structural units that make up the sample.
This is potential energy that results from the interaction of charged particles?
Electrostatic Energy
Electrostatic energy are _____ bonds.
Ionic
Chemical energy is ____ bonds.
Covalent
