Kinetic energyKinetic energy

Energy due to motion of the objectEnergy released or absorbed in a

chemical reactionDepends on mass and velocity

KE=1/2 mv2

Energy due to motion of the objectEnergy released or absorbed in a

chemical reactionDepends on mass and velocity

KE=1/2 mv2

The internal motion of the particles in a body is its kinetic energy. Because these particles are vibrating back and forth they have a potential energy as well. The sum of the PE and KE of the particles is called the thermal energy of the object.

Remember that the kinetic theory says that a hot body has more thermal energy than a cold body.

The hot body has a higher total sum of PE and KE than a cold body.

Law of Conservation of Energy

Law of Conservation of Energy

Energy can be converted from one form to another….

But it can never be created or destroyed

Therefore, the energy of the Universe is CONSTANT

This is the First Law of Thermodynamics

WorkWork

Work is a force acting over a distance

Another definition is “the ability to resist a natural tendency”

w = fd

State FunctionState Function

Important ideaIs a property of a system that changes

independently of it’s pathwayExample: You are traveling from Chicago

to DenverWhich property is a state function, Distance

traveled or change in elevation?

State Function Con’tState Function Con’t

Change in elevation is a state function because it doesn’t matter what path you take to get there

Distance traveled depends on the route you take, so distance traveled is not a state function

Change in Energy is a state function, work and heat are not.

Temperature and HeatTemperature and Heat

What is temperature?Temperature is a measure of the

random motions of the components of the substance

Must imagine this at the microscopic, molecular level

Heat vs. TemperatureHeat vs. Temperature

Heat is the flow of energy due to a temperature difference

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules

Heat is the flow of energy due to a temperature difference

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules

Heat flow is energy flowHeat flow is energy flow

Imagine two containers each holding the same amount of water. They are in contact with each other and heat can be transferred by water can not. No heat is lost to the surroundings. One side is at 100oC, and the other is at 10oC

The calorimetry equationThe calorimetry equation

Q = s x m x TWhere:

Q is the amount of heat energys is the specific heat of the substance

(must look this up)m is the mass (of the sample of the

substance)T is the CHANGE in TEMPERATURE

Q = s x m x TWhere:

Q is the amount of heat energys is the specific heat of the substance

(must look this up)m is the mass (of the sample of the

substance)T is the CHANGE in TEMPERATURE

What???? Come again??What???? Come again??

Q has units of Joules or Caloriess has units of J/g-oC, or Cal/g-oC, or

J/g K m has units of grams. If it doesn’t,

you must change it to grams in order to use the specific heat

T is the change in temperature in degrees Celsius or Kelvins

At 211o F water is very hot. It will burn.

At 212o F water becomes steam, andSteam can power a locomotive.The one degree makes all of the

difference.
