Energy • The ability to do work • Types of energy • chemical, mechanical, light, heat, electrical, sound
Law of Conservation of Energy • Energy cannot be created or destroyed • It only changes from one form to another
Almost all chemical reactions have a change in energy • Energy can be added (endothermic) • Energy can be given off (exothermic) • Thermochemistry studies those changes and their effects
A chemical reaction that releases energy is exothermic, and the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants.
In an endothermicreaction, the products have a larger energy than the reactants, and the reaction absorbs energy.
Remember • Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a substance • Measured in Kelvins (K) • Heat is the energy transferred during a reaction • Measured in Joules (J) • Always moves from high temperature to low temperature
Heat and Temperature • The energy absorbed or released as heat is measured in a calorimeter. • Known quantities of reactants are sealed in a reaction chamber that is immersed in a known quantity of water. • Energy given off by the reaction is absorbed by the water, and the temperature change of the water is measured. • From the temperature change of the water, it is possible to calculate the energy as heat given off by the reaction.
Specific Heat • The amount of energy transferred depends on • the kind of material involved • on its mass. • The specific heat of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram by 1°C or 1 K. • Materials with a high specific heat absorb more energy before their temperature changes
Specific Heat Problems • energy gained or lost with a change of temperature can be calculated using the following equation.
A 4.0 g sample of glass was heated from 274 K to 314 K, a temperature increase of 40. K, and was found to have absorbed 32 J of energy as heat. • a. What is the specific heat of this type of glass? • b. How much energy will the same glass sample gain when it is heated from 314 K to 344 K?
If 220.0g of steam at 350.0 °C absorbs 550.0 kJ of heat energy, what will be its increase in temperature? What is it’s final temperature?
When 80.0 grams of a certain metal at 90.0 °C was mixed with 100.0 grams of water at 30.0 °C, the final equilibrium temperature of the mixture was 36.0 °C. What is the specific heat (J/g °C) of the metal?
