Chemistry- Matter and Energy Notes 10-7-06

AB
matteranything that has mass and takes up space:can be changed by energy. is composed of elements(solids liquids or gases)
kinetic molecular theorymatter consists of tiny particles in constant motion
massamount of materials in an object
energyability to do work
states of mattersolids,liquids,gases,plasma
solidshas definite shape and volume, low energy
crystalline solidhas particles arranged in a regular, repeating pattern(salt crystal)
amorphous solidloses its shape under certain conditions(wax,tar,glass)
network solidscomposed of nonmetal atoms connected by a network of covalent bonds.
network solidsreally consist of one huge molecule. ex. carbon,graphite, and diamonds
liquidshas definite volume but no definite shape. takes the shape of its container. more energy than a solid but less than a gas.
viscosityresistance of a liquid to flow
high viscosityhoney,molasses
low viscositywater,alcohol
gasesno definite shape or colume, because of distance between and the independent movement of particles
gaseshave high energy. air at room temperature moves faster than 100mph
plasmaunbound nuclei and electrons. found in stars and the sun
law of conservation of mattermatter can't be created nor destroyed. instead it changes from one form to another. developed by Antoine Lavoisier(father of chemistry)
energyno energy=no life, cellular respiration
kinetic energyenergy in motion, moving objects. depends on the mass of an object and its velocity
kineteic energya baseball struck by a bat has kinetic energy
SI unitjoules(J)
potential energyenergy possessed by objects through their position-stored energy(ex. water dam)
potential energyscientists are mostly interested in potential energy stored in chemical bonds. without energy stored in bonds, you would have to eat all the time to keep your body going.
law of conservation of energyenergy is niether created nor destroyed. instead it changes from one form to another
converting from celsius to kelvinK=C+273
heata measure of the total amount of energy a substance posesses.
heat capacityquantity of energy required to increase the temperature of that sample by one degree
specific heatquantity of energy needed to increase the temperature of one gram of a substnace by one degree
specific heatlike density, it can be used to identify a substance
specific heat formulaquantity of energy transferred by heating divided by sample of mass x temperature change
matter and heatwhen the specific heat of a substance is known, you can calculate the energy transferred to or from that substance by heating, provided that you also know its mass and how much its temperature changed
loss of heatif the temperature change carries a negative sign
