2) Solar (sun)
3) Nuclear
4) Mechanical (pulley, lever)
5) Chemical (batteries)
6) Electrical

36
Q

Law of conservation of energy

A

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change its form

37
Q

Energy units

A
  • calorie/kilocalorie
  • joule/kilojoule

1 calorie = 4.18 joule

38
Q

When bonds are broken,

A

39
Q

When bonds are formed,

A

Energy is released

40
Q

Where is energy stored?

A

In bonds between atoms

41
Q

Endothermic reaction

A

Heat is absorbed and the walls of the container become cool

42
Q

Exothermic reaction

A

Heat is released and the walls of the container become warm

43
Q

Is a combustion reaction endothermic or exothermic?

A

Exothermic

44
Q

Temperature

A

A measure of a substance’s kinetic energy

45

46
Q

Boiling/condensation point

A

100°C and 373K

47
Q

Absolute zero

A

All motion stops at 0K

48
Q

Celsius to kelvin conversion

A

°C + 273 = K

49
Q

Kelvin to celsius conversion

A

K - 273 = °C

50
Q

Endothermic phase changes

A

Melting, evaporation. sublimation

51
Q

Exothermic phase changes

A

Freezing, condensation, deposition

52
Q

Direction of heat flow

A

Heat flows from the hotter object to the colder object

53
Q

Phase changes take place at…

A

Constant temperatures

54
Q

Potential energy increases as…

A

The distance between particles increases

55
Q

Reaction coordinate

A

The path that a reaction takes

56
Q

Activation energy

A

Minimum amount of energy that must be added to the reactants to start the reaction

57
Q

Activated complex

A

Intermediate stage between reactants and products, transition species

58
Q

Heat of the reaction, delta H, or enthalpy

A

Heat of the products - heat of the reactants

59
Q

If the heat of the reaction is positive, the reaction is…

A

Endothermic

60
Q

If the heat of the reaction is negative, the reaction is…

A

Exothermic

61
Q

How does a catalyst affect the potential energy diagram?

A

1) Provides an alternate pathway
2) Decreases the activation energy of the forward and reverse reaction
3) Decreases the energy of the activated complex

*Doesn’t affect enthalpy

62
Q

Calorimetry

A

The science of measuring heat lost or gained in a reaction

63
Q

Calorimeter

A

Device used to measure energy changes

64
Q

Specific heat capacity

A

For every one gram of water, 4.18 J of heat must be added to raise the temperature by 1°C

65
Q

Why do metals have low specific heats?

A

They are conductors of heat and electricity

66
Q

Specific heat capacity formula

A

q = m C delta T

67
Q

Why can’t we use the formula q = m C delta T for phase changes?

A

There is no change in temperature, so delta T = 0°C

68
