heat, light, and sound are
energy
chemical reactions involve
energy
because chemical bonds are being broken and made
energy transfer maybe in the form of
heat
or
work
heat and work have very important relationship with the energy of the
system
and
surroundings
COLLISIONS FORM PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF
ENERGY
A)
NO
B)
NO
2
system
is the portion of the universe singled out for study
Everything else outside the
system is the
surroundings.
Identify the system and the surroundings in
the following situation:
A)
system
B)
surroundings
2
types of systems
A)
open
B)
closed
C)
isolated
3
The transfer of energy between a
system and surroundings due to
temperature
difference.
heat flows from a
higher
to
lower
temperature.
assigned convention for heat, Q
A)
absorbs
B)
releases
2
Q = mcΔT
where Q = heat absorbed or released, J
m = mass of substance, g
c = specific heat of substance, J/g°C
ΔT = change in
temperature
, °C
J=g*J/g*degreecelsius*degree C
What is the heat in Joules required
to raise the temperature of 25
grams of water from 0°C to 100°C?
c of water = 4.18 J/g·°C
Answer:
10450
J
The force applied over a given distance. It
is the energy transfer between a system
and the surroundings due to a
force
acting
through a distance.
assigned convention for work W
when the system goes to the surroundings it is
expansion
because it spreads.
when a surroundings goes to the system it is
compression
because it will be compressed.
A)
expansion
B)
compression

w = -pΔV
where w = work, J
p = pressure applied, atm
ΔV = change in
volume
, L
1 L·atm = 101.3 joules
w
= -pΔV
w and pΔV have opposite signs
because when a gas expands (ΔV is
positive), work flows into the
surroundings (w is negative)
How much work is needed in a
system to expand from 25 to 100 L
against a pressure of 5 atm? Is
work done by the system or on the
system?
Answer:
-37,987.5 J or -38 kJ
Energy flows out of the gas, so the value of w is negative.
Is heat absorbed or given off in the
following processes?
A)
released
B)
absorbed

In an
endothermic
reaction
• Heat (absorbed) flows
into the system from
the surroundings.
• Heat is a reactant
(added).
Which of these is an endothermic?
a. Liquid water changes to solid ice
b. Solid ice changes to liquid water
Why?
Heat is absorbed so the particles move
faster.
answer
b
In an exothermic
reaction
• Heat (released) flows
out of the system into
the
surroundings.
• Heat is a product.
Which of these is an exothermic change?
Instant cold packs
Instant hand warmer pack
answer
instant hand warmer pack
endothermic or exothermic
Photosynthesis.
(CO2 + H2O + Energy → O2 + Glucose)
Endothermic.
Energy is a reactant.
Fireworks exploding?
Exothermic.
Powder + O2 → Heat + Light + Gas
Baking a cake?
Endothermic.
Batter + Heat → Cake
reaction type :
endothermic
and
exothermic
energy change: heat
absorbed
and heat
released
heat in reaction: product and
reactant
Conversion of pressure units
1 atm = 101,325
Pa
Energy flow during gas expansion
If energy flows out of the gas, the value of w is
negative
