1
New cards

energy

property transferred into a system, recognised as the capacity to do work and can never be destroyed or created

2
New cards

kinetic energy

energy in moving objects

3
New cards

potential energy

stored energy

4
New cards

energy consumption

all the energy used to perform an action, manufacture something, or simply inhabit a building

5
New cards

how energy is used in everyday life

through powering homes, transport, cooking, and running our bodies

6
New cards

how energy is consumed indirectly

producing goods and services

7
New cards

how indirect consumption of energy is associated with production of goods, building homes and infrastructure, energy for transporting and growing food

because energy is required to make, transport and process products, infrastructure, food, etc

8
New cards

direct use of energy in everyday life

consumed directly as fuel or electricity in the car or home

9
New cards

indirect use of energy in everyday life

hidden energy that is required to make, transport, and dispose of goods and services bought

10
New cards

fossil fuel

mixtures of hydrocarbons that formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago in a marine environment

11
New cards

what happens with the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere as fossil fuels are burning

increases as fossil fuels burn making the atmosphere hotter

12
New cards

why does the concentration of CO2 increase

that carbon in the hydrocarbons that naturally occur in them are exposed to the atmosphere where oxygen is present, making CO2

13
New cards

greenhouse effect 1

high energy short wave radiation emitted by the sun passes through our atmosphere

14
New cards

greenhouse effect 2

50% of this radiation is reflected back into space while the other half hits the earth's atmosphere, heating it up

15
New cards

greenhouse effect 3

a blanket of greenhouse gases around the earth absorb and emit this radiation which regulates the temperature

16
New cards

greenhouse effect 4

an increase in energy from the radiation in the atmosphere cause the molecules of greenhouse gases to vibrate and collide with other gases increasing their kinetic energy

17
New cards

common greenhouse gases

methane (CH4), water vapour (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2)

18
New cards

local effects of the greenhouse effect

hotter days with more frequent heatwaves, less overall rain, higher risk of bushfires, sea levels rising

19
New cards

global effects of the greenhouse effect weather

longer droughts, more extreme heatwaves, severe storms

20
New cards

global effects of the greenhouse effect everything else

habitats may change or disappear threatening endangered animals, threatens global food security as weather becomes less predictable, melting ice increasing sea levels

21
New cards

organic chemistry

study of compounds of carbon

22
New cards

fractional distillation

separates a mixture into a number of different parts called fractions

23
New cards

fractional distillation 1

crude oil is heated from an external furnace

24
New cards

fractional distillation 2

the oil vaporises, enters the fractionating tower

25
New cards

fractional distillation 3

the larger hydrocarbons (called bitumen) remain as liquids, settling at the bottom of the tower

26
New cards

fractional distillation 4

mixture is heated until all components evaporate together and then cooled so the substances condense separately

27
New cards

fractional distillation 5

more volatile hydrocarbons will continue to rise up the tower

28
New cards

fractional distillation 6

lower molecular hydrocarbons with lower boiling points are collected near the top of the tower

29
New cards

viscosity of hydrocarbons

viscosity increases as carbon length increases

30
New cards

volatility of hydrocarbons

volatility decreases as carbon length increases

31
New cards

flammability of hydrocarbons

flammability decreases as carbon length increases

32

60
New cards

61
New cards

IUPAC naming system 1

find the longest carbon chain (if the same, the one with the heavier molecular mass)

62
New cards

IUPAC naming system 2

number the carbon chain (depending on mass)

63
New cards

has limited amount of oxygen, makes CO and water

73

exothermic

energy flows from the system to surroundings

75

endothermic energy change

+∆H because absorbs heat from surroundings

81
New cards

exothermic energy change

-∆H because releases heat into surroundings

82
New cards

2H2O + energy → 2H2(g) + O2(g); ∆H = +572kJ

endothermic

83
New cards

2H2O + energy → 2H2(g) + O2(g); ∆H = +572kJ terms

572kJ of heat energy is absorbed from the surroundings when 2 moles of liquid water decomposes into two moles of gaseous H2 and one mole of gaseous O2

84
New cards

H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g) + energy; ∆H = -184kJ

exothermic

85
New cards

H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g) + energy; ∆H = -184kJ terms

184kJ of heat energy is released into the surroundings when one mole of gaseous H2 reacts with one mole of gaseous Cl2 to make 2 moles of gaseous HCl

86
New cards

activation energy

energy required for reactants to be able to react with each other

87
New cards

features of catalyst

doesn't get used up or changed and can be reused, and provides an alternate route where lower activation energy is required

88
New cards

how catalysts speed up chemical reaction

when it is used, catalysts provides a lower activation energy barrier which increases the rate of reaction by increasing the chance of collisions

89
New cards

has a positive enthalpy meaning the arrow is going up and the reactants have less potential energy than products

90
New cards

energy profile diagrams exothermic

92
New cards

energy profile diagrams catalyst

have to show with and without a catalyst which are labelled and having a catalyst means it has a lower activation energy than the original

99
New cards

the higher the negative enthalpy

the longer the carbon chain

100
New cards

higher negative enthalpy why

means more energy was required which means the fuel is more powerful
