09 Review-Key
To prepare to do well on the chapter 3 test, you should assemble your notes, the 4 worksheets and
the quiz and review them, preferably in a small group where you can draw from each other’s
understanding. Here are the key points you should know.
Energy
Think of energy as a quantity that is always involved when there is a change in the state of matter.
When a substance gets hotter or colder or changes phase, energy is either transferred into or out
of the system. The two key ways energy is stored is thermal (due to the motion of the particles)
and interaction (due to attractions between the particles). Remember that attractions lower the
energy state, so one must add energy to a system to pull particles apart. The three ways that
energy is transferred is by heating (Q), working (W) and radiating (R); this course focuses on Q.
You will be expected to be able to:
1. Draw energy bar charts to account for energy storage and transfer in all sorts of changes.
Make up a sample situation and sketch the bar chart. (review ws 1 and 2, quiz)
3. Label the sections in which the thermal energy (Eth) of the sample is changing. Label the sections
where the phase energy (Eph) is changing.
Energy calculations
First, before you do any math, you should sketch a temperature-time curve so that you can focus on
what changes are taking place.
4. On the graph below left sketch the curve that describes the following:
Initial state: 150 g solid water at –10 ˚C
Final state: 150 g liquid water at 0˚C

solid

5. On the graph above right sketch the curve that describes the following:
Initial state: 200 g liquid water at 40 ˚C
Final state: half of the water has boiled away at 100˚C
When the temperature of a solid, liquid or gas is changing, energy, in the form of heat, Q, is
involved. Rather than simply plug-n-chug values into an equation, reason out the quantity of Q
from the value of c. For example, you know that 4.18 J is required to increase the temperature of
each gram of liquid water by one Celsius degree. If you have more than one gram of water, or if
the temperature changes by more than one degree, multiply by the appropriate amounts.
Q1 =150 g ⋅2.1 J g°C ⋅10°C = 3150 J Q1 = 200 g ⋅ 4.18 J g°C ⋅60°C = 50,160 J
