Energy Flashcards
Energy at rest, energy that is stored between bonds in atoms. Potential or kinetic?
Potential Energy(PE)
Energy of motion, energy of molecules moving, faster molecules = higher temperature. Potential or kinetic?
Kinetic Energy(KE)
Potential or kinetic?
car is off, gas is sitting in tank
Potential Energy(PE)
Potential or kinetic?
car is on, gas is burning
Kinetic Energy(KE)
Stored in bonds of potential energy, released in chemical reactions such as heat(kinetic energy)
Chemical or thermal?
Chemical Energy
Comes from heat, responsible for temperature
Chemical or thermal?
Thermal Energy
Digestion, batteries, and photosynthesis are examples of chemical or thermal?
Chemical Energy
Boiling water, electricity passing through a metal, and sun radiation are examples of chemical or thermal?
Thermal Energy
The energy in the universe is divided into two parts:
- The system
- The surroundings
What is the law of conservation of energy?
(aka the 1st law of thermodynamics)
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms
The average of the kinetic motion of molecules
Temperature
Temperature ↑ and kinetic energy ↑ makes molecules move?
Faster
Temperature ↓ and potential energy ↑ makes molecules move?
Slower
The energy(heat) content of a system
Enthalpy
What does ΔH represent?
Measure of enthalpy change
What does ΔH depend on?
The initial enthalpy of reactants AND final enthalpy of products
Equation to find enthalpy change
ΔH = H products- H reactants
Energy exits to the environment, feels hot, energy is a product
Exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic reaction
Energy of reactants is greater than energy of products
Exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic reaction
When bonds form, energy is released, making the molecule more stable
Exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic reaction
A+B → C +heat
Exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic reaction
Energy is absorbed from the environment, feels cold, energy is a reactant
Exothermic or endothermic?
Endothermic reaction
