U NIT 5: P HYSICAL B EHAVIOR OF M ATTER
2
U NIT O VERVIEW In this unit you will learn about matter and energy, and how they interact in the universe. Whenever matter and energy interact, changes in matter occur.
3
M ATTER VS. E NERGY MatterEnergy -Matter is anything that has Mass and Volume - All physical objects or any substance composed of atoms - Measured in Grams -Energy is the ability to do work - Is measured in Joules or Kilojoules (J or kJ) - Can be either Potential or Kinetic
4
This is energy that is being stored, usually observed in objects that are not moving Something with a lot of stored energy has the “ potential ” to do a lot of work Example) A child sitting at the top of a slide… P OTENTIAL E NERGY
5
This is energy in motion All objects possess some amount of kinetic energy (even an object at rest has movement in its particles) Example) A child going down a slide… K INETIC E NERGY
6
D IFFERENT TYPES OF ENERGY … Light is waves, visible or invisible Electrical involves moving electrons Heat movement of molecules Chemical is contained in foods Nuclear responsible for the sun Sound waves/vibrations of molecules Mechanical involves moving objects Magnetic opposing poles
7
L AW OF C ONSERVATION OF E NERGY Energy, like matter, is neither created nor destroyed, rather it is converted.
8
In equations we use the symbol “q” to represent heat. ΔH represents change in heat energy. Heat always travels from warm areas to cool areas. 3 ways heat energy can be transferred: U NDERSTANDING H EAT F LOW 1) Conduction 2) Convection 3) Radiation
9
Heat energy is a raw measure of heat in Joules or Kilojoules Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy in the particles of matter Potential energy cannot be measured by temperature… H EAT E NERGY V S. T EMPERATURE
10
Endothermic – Chemical process where energy is absorbed heat is a reactant q or ΔH is positive number like +350 kJ Exothermic – Chemical process where energy is released Heat is a product q or ΔH is a negative number like -5200 kJ K EY T ERMS R EVIEW *In all changes in matter energy is either released or absorbed*
11
Sometimes chemical reactions can’t occur on their own So… They need a little spark of energy to start the reaction This is called Activation Energy A CTIVATION E NERGY * Even some spontaneous reactions require activation energy
12
The energy of particles of matter relate to the phase/state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) Energy change can cause phase changes E NERGY AND P HASE C HANGES
