AP Chemistry
Chapter 6 Reading Assignment
Summarize the introduction
Energy
Law of conservation of energy
Potential energy
Kinetic energy
Look at figure 6.1.
Ball A stopped moving…what happened to its energy? We know energy must be conserved…
Heat
Work
What is “the pathway”?
State function or state property. Give an example.
The book uses distance traveled and change in elevation to discuss the idea of a state function.
Explain which is a state function and which is not.

Exothermic
Endothermic
Friend 1 tells you that the freezing of water is exothermic. Friend
2 says that this can’t be true because exothermic implies
“hot” and ice is cold.
If the process of water freezing exothermic? Is so, explain it so your friends can understand. If not, explain why not.
What happens to the energy lost by a system?
What happens to the chemical energy stored in chemical bonds during a reaction?
Thermodynamics
First law of thermodynamics
Internal energy
Calculate the ∆E for a system undergoing an endothermic process in which 15.6 kJ of heat flows and where 1.4 kJ of work is done on the system.
