GENERAL CHEMISTRY 2 Q1W5

1. A system absorbs 145 J of heat and does 167 J of

work.
LESSON 1
Given: q= 145 J; w= 167 J
Solution:
What I Know
ΔE= q+w
ΔE= 145 J + (-167 J)
1. C6. B 11. B
ΔE= -22 J (energy decreases)
2. B7. A 12. B
3. A8. D 13. D
2. When a system gives off 3.0 kJ of heat and the
4. A9. B 14. A
system does 750 J of work on the surroundings.
5. A10. C 15. A
Given: q= 3.0 kJ; w= 750 J
Solution:
What’s In
a) Convert 750 J to kJ

Path 1- what is the ability to do work?

- Energy is the ability to do work. = 0.750 kJ
Path 2- What do you call the energy at rest or b) ΔE= q + w
the stored energy?
ΔE= (-3.0kJ) + (-0.750kJ)
- Potential Energy
ΔE= -3.75 kJ (energy decreased)
Path 3- What is the energy in motion or the
energy caused by motion?
- Kinetic Energy
Path 4- What is a form of energy that can be 3. A system releases 128 J of heat while the
transferred from one object to another, causing surroundings does 143 J of work on it.
a change in temperature of each? Given: q= 128 J; w= 143 J
- Heat is the form of energy that can be Solution:
transferred.
ΔE= q + w
Path 5- What is the unit for energy?
ΔE= (-128 J) + 143 J
- The unit of energy is joule, J.
ΔE= +15 J (energy increased)

“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It

can only be transformed from one kind to 4. Calculate the change in energy if a gas releases
another. All chemical reactions involve a gain or 40 J of heat as 70 J of work was done to compress
loss of heat.” it.
Given: q= 40 J; w= 70 J

What’s More: Act 4.1 Solution:

ΔE= q + w
ΔE= (-40 J) + 70 J
ΔE= 30 J (Endothermic)

5. Calculate the change in energy if a gas absorbs

40 J of heat as it does 80 J of work by expanding.
Given: q= 40 J; w= 80 J
Solution:
ΔE= q + w
ΔE= 40 J + (-80 J)
ΔE= -40 J (Exothermic)

What I Can Do
After a long day, I usually take a hot bath. In this,
the heat of the water, will be felt by the skin and
later on, my body adapts the temperature. After a
while, since the body is warm, then the heat of the
water combines, the water will soon release its heat,
and cools. In thermodynamics, its first law, states
that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, the
energy of the heat, wasn’t destroyed but it only
transformed to other form.
