Matter is anything with weight and space.
Fixed compositions have pure substances or compounds and variable compounds have mixtures.
The substances can be separated by physical methods in mixtures.
The ability to work is energy.
Calorie (cal), kilocalorie (kcal), joule (J), and kilojoule are common energy units (kJ).
One calorie is 4.184 J.
The calorie in nutrition is equal to 1 kcal or 1000 calories of energy.
The energy of a food is the sum of carbohydrates, fat, and protein kilocalories or kilojoules.
A fusion occurs when the solid particles absorb sufficient energy to break down and form a liquid.
Fusion thermal means the amount of energy necessary to precisely convert 1 g of solid into liquid.
Evaporation occurs when particles absorb sufficient energy in a fluid state to separate and form gas particles.
A heating or cooling curve shows temperature and condition changes when heat is added to or removed from a material.
The sum of the energy calculations for state change and/or temperature change(s) is the total heat absorbed or removed from a substance undergoing changes in temperature and state.
