Document Summary
Chem 111 lecture 9 chapter 6 energy. Nature of energy: work is done to achieve motion against an opposing force, it is an ordered motion that is related to the temperature, work= (force) (distance) Its exo because water must release heat in order to freeze. What is the system: exchange of heat between things, where the surroundings (the rest of the universe) don"t affect the reaction, add more shit from slides, for example: glass beaker where different chemicals are mixed. Different types of energy: kinetic energy energy of motion. Example: ball falling downwards: potential energy any energy that is stored in the object. Doesn"t just apply to gravity, also it applies to chemical bonds and structures. Example: ball is held certain height: internal energy all of the energy that particles make up in the substance. Example: energy is stored in the structure of the compound (nacl) and it can be released by a chemical reaction.
