Interpretation:
System, surroundings, thermal energy, chemical energy, potential energy, kinetic energy, and the law of conservation of energy are to be defined.
Concept Introduction:
A system is the platform where the reaction is taking place.
Thermal energy is a type of kinetic energy that is related to the random motion of atoms and molecules.
Chemical energy is a type of potential energy that is stored within the structural units of a chemical substance.
Kinetic energy of a particle arises from its motion.
Potential energy of an object is relative to its position. This kind of energy does not depend on the motion of the particles; instead, it is converted from kinetic energy, when particles are at rest.

- Describe the interconversions of potential and kinetic energy in a moving pendulum. A moving pendulum eventually comes to rest. Has the energy been lost? If not, what has happened to it?arrow_forwardNiagara Falls has a height of 167 ft (American Falls). What is the potential energy in joules of 1.00 lb of water at the top of the falls if we take water at the bottom to have a potential energy of zero? What would be the speed of this water at the bottom of the falls if we neglect friction during the descent of the water?arrow_forwardThe first step in the preparation of lead from its ore (galena, PbS) consists of roasting the ore.
