Document Summary

Thermodynamics : the science of the relationship of heat or energy transfer. Thermochemistry : study of heat loss or gain during the course of a reaction. Thermal energy : associated w/ random motion of a molecule/atom. Chemical energy : energy stored w/i the structural limits of a molecule or atom. Potential energy : energy as a product of position in a field. Internal energy : product of kinetic and potential energy of molecules in a sample. This shows that the kinetic energy of an object depends on both its mass and. Potential energy : this energy depends on the position (such as height) in a field of. Ex: water at the top of a dam is at a relative height . E k = mv 2 speed force (such as gravity) of the earth. Internal energy can be gained or loss. In reactions, we track the initial and final internal energy. System : is where our reaction is taking place.
