  1. Energy and Chemical Change Energy

  2. How is energy in our everyday lives? • Cooks the food we eat • Propels vehicles that transport us • Allows photosynthesis to occur to start the food chain • Energy from burning fuels heats or cools the classroom • Allows you to think and write • Cells are factories that run on energy derived from the food we eat

  3. What is energy? • The ability to do work or produce heat • Potential energy vs. kinetic energy – 2 basic forms • Potential energy – energy of position • Kinetic energy – energy of motion • Ex. Roller coaster

  4. Chemical systems • Contain both kinetic and potential energy • Kinetic energy – directly related to constant random motion of particles – prop. To temp. • Potential energy depends on composition – chemical bonds, arrangement of atoms, etc.

  5. Conservation of Energy • Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another. • 1st Law of thermo.

  6. Heat • q • Energy flowing from a warmer object to a cooler object. • As energy flows, change in temperature • Calorie – energy needed to raise one gram of water one ºC. • When your body breaks down sugars and fats to form carbon dioxide and water, these reactions generate heat energy that can be measured in calories. • SI unit is the joule which equals 0.2390 calories.

  7. Specific heat (c) • 1J= 0.2390 calories, then one calorie equals… • 4.184 Joules. • 1 nutritional calorie = kcal • Pg. 492 practice problems • The specific heat of any substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of that substance by one degree Celsius. • So, for water, that’s 4.184J/g·ºC

  8. Specific heat • Cp = q . m x ∆T Cp = specific heat q = heat absorbed or released by substance m= mass ∆T = change in temperature

  9. Specific heat • The relationship between heat and specific heat… • q=c·m·ΔT • qtotal=qwater + qmaterial • or • cwater ·mwater ·ΔTwater = cmaterial·mmaterial·ΔTmaterial • Table pg. 492

  10. Practice problems • Pg. 495 #’s 4-6

  11. Calorimeter • (Sounds like…?) • Is an insulated device to measure the change in heat during a chemical reaction.
