Thermochemistry Enduring Understandings: Essential Questions:
• Temperature is not a form of energy. • What is energy? • Energy is a conserved quantity, which means it cannot be • How do potential and kinetic energy differ? • How can chemical potential energy be related to the heat lost or gained in chemical created or destroyed. reactions? • All of the energy present in the universe was derived from the • How is the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance calculated as its Big Bang. temperature changes? • Different forms of energy have to do with the motion of atoms • How is a calorimeter used to measure energy that is absorbed or released? • What do enthalpy and enthalpy change mean in terms of chemical reactions and and molecules within a substance. processes? • All chemical reactions require the use of energy in some way, • How are thermochemical equations for chemical reactions and other processes which is why one’s body has a steady temperature and mixing written? • How is energy lost or gained during changes of state? chemicals can cause heat to be released or require heat to react • How is the heat that is absorbed or released in a chemical reaction calculated? (cold). • How is Hess’s law applied to calculate the enthalpy change for a reaction? • What is the difference between spontaneous and non‐spontaneous processes?
