chapter 11: entity change (done) Flashcards
what is the basis of all change everywhere
energy transformation
what is a major natural contributor to stored chemical energy
photosynthesis
how is photosynthesis a natural contributor to stored chemical energy
- it takes energy from the sun and converts it into chemical energy
- co2 and h2o in the plant reacts to produce c6h12o6 and o2
- potential energy is then consumed by any living thing who eats it or its stored
- cellular respiration uses stored chemical energy (reverse of photosynthesis)
biogenic hypothesis
- hypothesis that suggests the origin of fossil fuels
- fuels had their origins in the deposits of plant and animal material
- solar energy was captured and stored by photosynthesis
- plant matter was eaten and stored by animals or stored in the plant itself
- in certain conditions this dead plant/animal material is converted into hydrocarbons
what are a major source of stored chemical energy
fossil fuels
how to retrieve chemical energy in alberta
through coal, natural gas, crude oil, heavy oil, oil sands, and coal-bed methane
perspectives regarding science and technology
- environmental
- economic
- legal
- ethical
- social
what are the four major demands for energy from fossil fuels
- heating
- transportation
- industry
- commercial and institutional
law of conservation of energy
energy is neither destroyed nor created, it is only converted from one form to another
thermochemistry
the study of energy changes by a chemical system during a chemical reaction
what is needed to study energy changes
isolated system
isolated system
a system where energy cannot move in or out
calorimetry
technological process of measuring energy changes of an isolated system called a calorimeter
calorimeter
isolated system where the chemical system (reactants and products) being studied is surrounded by a known quantity of liquid (usually water) inside the calorimeter
what type of energy is transferred between the chemical system and the water
heat (can only be transferred, never possessed by substances)
what is the main assumption in calorimetry
no heat is transferred between the calorimeter and the outside environment
what is the relationship of heat between the calorimeter and the chemical system
the heat that the chemical system loses is equal to the heat gained by the calorimeter, assuming an isolated system
assumptions for calorimetry
- all the energy lost or gained by the chemical system is gained or lost (respectively) by the calorimeter; total system is isolated
- all of the material of the chemical system is conserved; total system is isolated
- the specific heat capacity of water over the temperature range is 4.19 J(g.C)
- the specific heat capacity of dilute aqueous solutions is 4.19 J/(g.C)
- the density of a dilute aqueous solution is the same as that of water; 1.00g/mL
- the thermal energy gained or lost by the rest of the calorimeter (other than water) is negligible; the calorimeter materials (stirrer, lid, container, thermometer) does not gain or lose energy
thermal energy
total kinetic energy of the entities of a substance
if the same quantity of heat was applied to different volumes of water, which would see the most difference
smaller quantity of water
how is chemical energy lost calculated
from the thermal energy gained by the surroundings
specific heat capacity
- represented by the variable c
- quantity of energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree celsius or one kelvin
- represented by the units J/(g.C), joules over (grams multiplied by celsius)
joule
energy unit , J
