New cards

Thermochemistry

the scientific study of heat that is released or absorbed during chemical changes

2
New cards

Energy

the ability to do work. Matter can contain two types of energy; kinetic energy and potential energy.

3
New cards

Potential Energy (PE)

is stored energy that has the potential to do work, but is not current doing work. Most of the energy in the world is stored as potential energy.

4
New cards

Kinetic Energy (KE)

or the energy of motion, is based on the movement of an object, or of a substance. Once an object begins moving its potential energy is converted into Kinetic energy.

5
New cards

Law of Conservation of Energy

“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but instead is transferred between a system and its surroundings.”
-Energy can transform from one form to another

-Energy cannot be lost. Ever.

6
New cards

Chemical Energy

is a form of potential energy, as it is the energy stored in the bonds between the atoms of molecules. Chemical energy is the potential energy a molecule holds that could be released through a chemical reaction.

7
New cards

Thermal energy

is a form of kinetic energy. Thermal energy is the energy of heat present. Heat is the transfer of energy between substances, therefore thermal energy is in a constant motion and can move between substances which makes it a form of kinetic energy.

New cards

Joules

(J) is the unit used to measure heat (thermal energy)
