Document Summary

Coalbed methane: a new source of methane, methane is produced and trapped during layers of coal during coal production, the methane dissolves into water within the coal bed, the dissolved methane is then removed from the coal formation. The change in the heat of combustion at standard conditions. This changes the chemical potential energy (all of the potential energy in all of the bonds of the molecule) During _____________ chemical bonds within the fuel are broken and new bonds are created. During ___________, energy is transferred from warmer to cooler objects (heat) Calorimetry: measures the energy transferred to the water due to the combustion of a substance, simple calorimeters: energy losses can decrease accuracy, bomb calorimeters are more accurate because combustion occurs in a sealed container (minimize energy loss). A theoretical method of determining the energy released in a reaction.
