Chemistry Lesson: Matter and Change

​Energy and Change

​What is Energy

Energy is the capacity to do work or​ the ability to cause change. Energy is measured in Joules.

Physical and Chemical changes involve changes in energy.​

A physical change does not involve changing the identity of the substance while a chemical change does.​

​Conservation of Energy in Chemical Reactions

​

Energy is released by the system to the surrounding.

Final change in energy is negative.​

​Exothermic

Energy is absorbed by the system from the surrounding.

Final change in energy is positive​

​

​Endothermic

​Heat

​Heat is the transferred between two objects that are different in temperature.

Energy is always transferred from objects with high temperature to the objects with lower energy.​

​Temperature

​Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance.

The higher the kinetic energy the higher the temperature.

Units of Temperature

Celsius

Kelvin: T(K)= t(C) +273​

O Kelvin is known as Absolute Zero​

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

As the substance is heated and approaches its melting point the kinetic energy of its particles

• Increases

• Decreases

• Stays the same

Multiple Choice

The energy added during boiling is expressed as

• Kinetic energy

• Potential energy

​Heat Transfer Affects Substances Differently

Some substances are heat up more quickly than others, depending a characteristic property ​called Specific Heat Capacity (c).

Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1degree celsius or Kelvin.
