What is the variable for Heat?
q
Kinetic energy
Energy due to motion
Potential energy
Energy due to weight/location
Thermal energy
Energy that is transferred in the form of heat
thermal equilibrium
When there is no longer thermal energy tranfer
chemical energy
Energy based on positions of electrons and nuclei
coulombs Law for calculating chemical energy
E el= Q1 x Q2 / d (download before quiz)
what is the transfer of thermal energy called?
heat
closed systems only echange
heat not mass
isolated systems don’t exchange
heat nor mass
Kinetic energy formula
1/2mv aka (1/2 (kg)(meter/sec))
Change in Energy is calculated by
difference between final energy and initial energy E(final)-E initial or E(products)- E (reactants)
When energy of products is higher than energy of reactants?
Positive change (change gains energy from surroundings)
