Document Summary

6. 2 thermochemistry: heat and energy atoms and molecules. Kinetic energy the energy associated with the motion of an object. Thermal energy the energy associated with the temperature of an object. Potential energy the energy associated with the position/composition of an object. Chemical energy the energy associated with the relative positions of electrons and nuclei in. Heat: heat is a form of energy proportional to its mass and velocity, potential energy is stored in chemical bonds, reactions can convert potential energy to kinetic energy by releasing heat. Thermal energy is kinetic: the amount of kinetic energy an object has is directly. Energy stored in the structure of a compound is potential energy. Ke = mv2 system releases heat to its surroundings, it is considered an exothermic reaction. When heat (q) leaves the system, qsys is negative: when a low energy system absorbs heat from its surroundings, the reaction is considered.
