    • Heat - the energy that causes there to be changes in matter (measured in calories)
    • 1. amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of one gram of water 1degree C
    • 2. calories= # of grams of water X # degrees change in temperature
  26. What is used to measure heat?
    Temperature
  27. What is used to measure temperature?
    Celsius and Kelvin
  28. Temperature is
    the hotness or coldness o
  29. Degree Celsius or Degree Centigrade
    Used in most scientific study
  30. Kelvin Scale
    • Used in many mathematical formulas of chemistry
    • -0 K is absolute zero
    • -an abstract number
    • -when all things in the universe come to a halt
  31. Conversion from Celsius to Kelvin(Absolute)
    K= C +273
  32. Conversion Kelvin (Absolute) to Celsius
    C= K - 273
  33. Chart of Required Temperatures
    • C K \
    • Boiling point of water: 100 373
    • Normal Body Temp. 37 310
    • Freezing point of water 0 273
  34. Define Energy
    The ability or capacity to do work
  35. Define Potential Energy
    Stored Energy- Has the potential to do work
  36. Examples of Potential Energy
    • -food
    • -gasoline
    • -coiled spring
    • -battery
  37. Define Kinetic Energy
    The energy of motion
  38. Examples of Kinetic Energy
    • -current of a river
    • -wood-burning
    • -motor running
  39. Define Chemical Energy
    Energy associated with chemical reactions
  40. Define Exothermic Reaction
    Absorbs heat (feels cool)
  41. Define Exothermic Heat
    Releases heat (feels hot)
  42. The Law of Conservation of Energy
    • -Energy is neither created not destroyed in a chemical reaction
    • -only changed in form
  43. The Law if Conservation of Matter (Mass)
    -Matter (Mass) is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
  44. The Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy
    • - In any type if reaction, mass or energy can be neither created or destroyed; they can only be interconverted(change one to other).
