Flow of Energy
Ch 17.1 Energy, Heat, Work
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| energy stored in chemical bonds of a substance | chemical potential energy |
| symbol is q ; transfer of energy due to temperature differences | heat |
| SI unit for energy | Joules (J) |
| Chemical reaction that releases energy (loses heat) | exothermic |
| study of energy changes during a chemical reaction | thermochemistry |
| amount of heat needed to raise temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1 degree Celsius | specific heat |
| non-SI unit for energy | Calories (C) |
| Chemical reaction that absorbs energy (gains heat) | endothermic |
| amount of heat needed to raise temperature of substance 1 degree Celsius (depends on mass & chemical compound) | heat capacity |
| this lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction | catalyst |
| states that the energy in the universe is constant | 1st law of thermodynamics |
| states that energy is not created or destroyed in a chemical or physical process | law of conservation of energy |
| states that the heat of reaction can be found by adding thermochemical equations | Hess's law |
| temperature scale used in heat calculations | Celsius |
