Q

What is the definition of energy?

A

Energy: Besides matter, energy is the other major component of our universe. Like matter, energy is con- served—it can be neither created nor destroyed. Ener- gy exists in various different types, and these can be converted from one to another. Some common units of energy are the joule (J), the calorie (cal), the nutritional Calorie (Cal), and the kilowatt-hour (kWh). Chemical reactions that emit energy are said to be exothermic; those that absorb energy are said to be endothermic.

Q

Why are coastal geographic regions normally cooler

in the summer than inland geographic regions?

A

the high heat capacity of the seawater keeps the temperature in the city from dropping. In the winter, the ocean actual- ly helps to keep the city warmer, compared to an inland cities.

40
Q

What is matter?

A

Matter: Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. It is composed of atoms, which are often bonded together as molecules. Matter can exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Solid matter can be either amorphous or crystalline.

41
Q

What does the law of conservation of mass state?

A

Conservation of Mass: Whether the changes in matter are chemical or physical, matter is always conserved. Ina chemical change, the masses of the matter undergoing the chemical change must equal the sum of the masses of matter resulting from the chemical change.

42
Q

What is temperature?

A

Temperature: The temperature of matter is related to the random motions of the molecules and atoms that compose it—the greater the motion, the higher the tem- perature. Temperature is commonly measured on three scales: Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C), and Kelvin (K).

50
Q

What are two types of changes that can occur in matter? What is the definition of each?

A

Chemical reaction

54
Q

What is an exothermic reaction? Which has greater energy in an exothermic reaction, the reactants or the
products?

A

An exothermic reaction releases energy from the system to its surroundings.
In this type of reaction, the reactants have more energy than the products because energy is released because of the reaction between the reactants.

55
Q

What is an endothermic reaction? Which has greater energy in an endothermic reaction, the reactants or the
products?

A
  • An Endothermic reaction absorbs energy from its surroundings into the system.
  • In an Endothermic reaction, the products contain more energy than the reactants because energy is absorbed as the reaction occurs.
56
Q

What is the law of conservation of energy?

A

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed.

Can change from one form to another or transferred.

57
