Unit 3: Energy

Guiding Questions:

  • What is energy?
  • How do we measure energy?

What you should learn:

Unit outline

  1. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed only transformed from one form into another. If an object loses energy something else must gain an equivalent amount of energy and that change in energy will result in changes in the molecules; their motion (kinetic energy) and/or potential energy.
  2. The motion of molecules and atoms explains energy transfer and changes in volume and pressure.

More Specifically...:

  • Energy, Enthalpy, Heat and Temperature
    • Classify reactions as endothermic or exothermic
    • Classify sources of energy as potential, kinetic, or mass-energy
    • List the kinds of energy transformed in a given situation
    • Distinguish between heat and temperature.
    • Convert between different units of temperature
    • Calculate heat required to change the temperature of substances using Q=mC?T and q = m?H
    • Describe how energy is gained or lost during changes of state
    • Calculate enthalpy change for phase changes using heat of vaporization and heat of formation
    • State that the temperature of a substance does not change as it undergoes a change in state
    • Determine when to use q = mC?T and when to use q = m?H
    • Graph and interpret a heating/cooling curve
    • Distinguish between
      1. Heat of vaporization
      2. Heat of fusion
  • Interaction of matter and energy (SOL Ch. 3 e, 5 f)
    • State the law of energy-mass conservation (E=mc2)
    • Use the four indicators of chemical change (gas formation, precipitation, heat and light, color change) to determine whether a physical change or chemical change has taken place
    • Describe the three states of matter in terms of energy and organization of molecules
    • Interpret phase diagrams
    • Define pressure and relate to kinetic theory
    • Describe the operation of barometers
    • Define and use standard temperature pressure
    • Convert between different units of pressure
    • Solve problems involving
      1. Boyles Law
      2. Charles Law
      3. Gay-Lussac's Law
      4. Combined Gas Law
      5. Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
