Study guide for Chapter 5
You should be able to:
• discuss the difference between kinetic and potential energy, work and heat.
• understand transfer of energy from kinetic to potential and back, from chemical to
heat and work.
• use and interconvert among the most common units of energy (J, cal, Cal).
• relate internal energy, heat, work, and enthalpy.
• determine enthalpy of reaction from enthalpies of formation or combustion.
• understand the difference between constant pressure and constant volume processes.
• determine the heat of combustion from calorimetry.
• understand the difference between specific heat, heat capacity and molar heat
capacity.
• determine specific heat, heat capacity and molar heat capacity from calorimetry.
• understand the difference between intensive and extensive physical properties.
