Document Summary
Sept 28 lec 8 chemical reactions and energy flows. Energy is obtained from hydrogen through an exothermic reaction with oxygen: The combustion of hydrogen does not produce carbon dioxide. H2 (g) + o2 (g) h2o(g) + 286 kj of energy. Most hydrogen is currently created by steam-methane reforming: Ch4 (g) + 2 h2o(g) co2 (g) + 4 h2 (g) The energy that keeps us alive (metabolism of foods) 5 c6h12o6 (s) + 6 o2 (g) 6 co2 (g) + 6 h2o(g) + energy. The unit used for measuring energy is the joule (j): one joule (1 j) is the energy required to lift an object exactly 1 m against the force of one. Newton (1 n): one newton is a force that will give a 1 kg object an acceleration of 1 m s 2 , so, 1 j = 1 kg m2 s 2 .
