Document Summary

Energetics of chemical reactions are governed by the 2 laws of. Thermodynamics: 1st law: energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form to another. If reactants have less energy than products, must input energy. If reactants have more energy than products, energy must be released: 2nd law: when converting energy from one form to another, the amount of useful energy decreases (there is useable and non-usable energy) The conversion of energy is not 100% efficient and some energy is lost. Most common form of non-useful energy (energy that has been wasted) is the energy that is given off as heat. Body heat we give off is wasted energy of reactions in our body. The more efficient the process is and the less waste energy there is, the better it is for you you don"t have to take in as much energy.
