Document Summary
Thermodynamics is the science of the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. Thermochemistry is the study of the heat absorbed or evolved by a chemical reaction; area of thermodynamics. Energy is the potential or capacity to move matter: forms of energy: heat, light, electricity kg m. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with an object by virtue of its motion. The calorie (cal) is a non-si unit of energy commonly used by chemists, originally defined as the amount of energy required to raise the joule (j) is the si unit of energy. 2 temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius. Internal energy is the sum of the kinetic and the potential energies of the particles making up a system. Potential energy is the energy an object has by virtue of its position in a field of force.
