Document Summary

Unit 3: thermodynamics: relationship b/w forms of energy and heat, the interconversion b/w forms of energy. 1st law of thermodynamics: energy can be transferred and transformed (rearranged), cannot be created or destroyed. Energy = the capacity to do work. To rearrange matter - break/make bonds, convert molecule to diff type of molecule. Kinetic (ek) = the energy of motion, heat. Potential (ep) = stored energy because of: More energy released when making a bond compared to energy used to break a bond. The release of energy refers to net release of energy. Start with molecule of high potential energy and end with molecule of lower potential energy. 2nd law of thermodynamics: energy tends to spontaneously disperse, from being localized, ordered to becoming spread out, disordered, universe trying to oppose a state of order. Entropy = disorder: making and breaking of chemical bonds. Shifting of atoms from one molecule to another.
