Chemistry – Unit 3 Energy and Kinetic Molecular Theory
In the 18th and 19th centuries scientists wrestled with identifying and describing
the nature of the “stuff” that produced change. One concept that became popular
for a while was that of “caloric” (what we now call heat).
“Caloric was originally conceived of as a quantity that would flow from a hotter
object to a cooler one that would warm up as a result. It answered the need for a
way for the cause of warming to get from here to there. Not only did caloric serve
as a cause for warming, it was also considered to be the cause for changes of
phase. Caloric enabled particles of a substance to move farther apart until the
attraction of the particles for each other became too weak to hold them together.
Although Lavoisier did not think that caloric necessarily was an actual
substance, in its storage and transfer it was like a substance.”
When scientists recognized that the “stuff” involved when forces were applied to
objects to lift them or change their speed was the same “stuff” that was involved
when the temperature of objects changed, they worked to develop a single energy
concept. “So when the energy concept was developed it was important to
distinguish it from caloric. In snuffing out the caloric concept, the clear picture
of energy storage and transfer that it fostered was unnecessarily lost, too.”
Even though we recognize that energy is not a physical substance, we choose to
use the substance metaphor to describe it.
We’ll use three principles to guide us in the development of the energy concept. 1. Energy can be viewed as a substance-like quantity that can be stored in a physical
system.
2. Energy can “flow” or be “transferred” from one system to another and so cause
changes.
3. Energy maintains its identity after being transferred.
If you are unsure what we mean by the use of a substance metaphor, consider
how we describe information. We say that it can be stored in books, on computer
hard drives or floppy disks or CD-ROMs. Information can be transferred from
place to place via cables or by wireless transmission techniques - in fact you just
did this when you accessed this lesson via the Internet, transferred it to your
computer and then (perhaps) printed it. But there is nothing substantial about
the information itself; you can’t touch it or measure its mass on a balance. The
third point is important to consider because many texts talk about energy
transformations as if somehow it is the energy that is changing rather than the
physical system that gains or loses it. Consider the information metaphor again:
even though we move information from place to place or store it in different
ways, nothing about the information itself has changed.
Energy Storage and Transfer At this point, let us consider another metaphor to describe energy storage and
transfer – that of money. We store money in accounts at the bank or credit
union. We can have checking accounts, various savings accounts, certificates of
deposit, etc. These accounts store money. There is nothing different about the
money in checking and savings accounts. This money can be transferred back
and forth in the bank without changing the nature of the money or the total
quantity of money that resides in the collection of accounts that is attached to
your name; let’s call this the system for convenience.
The same is true of energy. It is stored in objects and in the arrangement of
objects in a physical system. We use different “accounts” to help us keep track of
energy as its transfer causes change in the objects or in their arrangement. As
with money, nothing about the energy itself has changed. Let’s consider the
accounts we will use in this course.
1. Thermal energy, Eth – is the energy stored by moving particles. The quantity of
thermal energy stored by a collection of particles is related to both their mass and
velocity. You instinctively recognize this as you would rather catch barehanded
baseballs thrown by your instructor than ones thrown by a major league pitcher.
Similarly, you wouldn’t be hurt if you were pelted by ping-pong balls, but would
suffer if you were showered with golf balls.
2. Phase energy, Eph – is the energy stored in the system due to the arrangement of
particles that exert attractions on one another. Attractions result in a decrease in
the energy of a system of particles. As particles become more tightly bound, their
Eph is lowered. Solids possess the lowest phase energy; liquids possess more, since
the particles in a liquid are freer to move than those in a solid; and a gas possesses
the greatest amount of Eph since the particles in a gas have completely broken free
from one another. Eph is the energy account involved when phase changes occur.
3. Chemical energy, Ech- is the energy due to attractions of atoms within molecules.
These attractions are described as chemical bonds because they are directed between
specific atoms in the molecule.
There are also three ways that energy is transferred between system and
surroundings. While most texts refer to them as nouns (work, heat and
radiation) we prefer to describe the ways as gerunds to emphasize that they are
processes rather than real things apart from energy. They are working (W),
heating (Q) and radiating (R). It is very important to recognize that such energy
transfers affect both the system and the surroundings. Energy doesn’t
mysteriously appear or get lost.
1. Working (usually referred to as work by the physicists although it is not something
different from energy) is the way in which energy is transferred between
macroscopic (large enough to be seen) objects that exerts forces on one another. It is
OK to calculate how much “work” one object does on another so long as you do not
think that work is something an object stores.
2. Heating (referred to as heat by the chemists) is the way in which energy is
transferred by the collisions of countless microscopic objects. Energy is always
transferred from the “hotter” object (one in which the molecules have greater Eth) to
a colder one (one in which the molecules have lower Eth). If all the molecules have
the same mass, then the “hotter” ones are moving faster than the “colder” ones. It’s
OK to say that you heat an object – just not that the object stores heat.
3. Radiating is the process in which energy is transferred by the absorption or emission
of photons (particles of light). A light bulb filament can be heated to the point that it
glows; this is the emission of photons that carry energy away from the filament. You
can be warmed by light from the sun as the photons transfer energy to you.
The relationship between energy storage and transfer is given by the 1st Law of
Thermodynamics, ∆E= W + Q + R. This is shown by the system schema below:
It shows that energy transferring into and out of the system affects the nature of
the energy storage in the system. The 1st Law of Thermodynamics and the Law
of Conservation of Energy state that the algebraic sum of these energy changes
and transfers must add up to zero, accounting for all changes relative to the
system.
Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) This is one of the really important theories in chemistry. It accounts for the
behavior of substances during all sorts of physical change. There are three key
points: 1. Matter is made of tiny particles that are in constant random motion.
2. These particles exert long-range attractions and short-range repulsions on one
another. Attractions bring about a reduction in the energy state (Eph ) of the
system; repulsions bring about an increase in the energy.
3. A hotter sample is one whose molecules are moving (on average) faster than the
molecules in a colder sample.

Behavior of Gases and a few words about Pressure
Ideally, nearly all substances exhibit similar behavior in the gas phase due to the large relative
distances and negligible interaction between the particles. This results in predictable
relationships between the variables that describe gas behavior: pressure (P), volume (V),
temperature (T), and quantity of gas (n).
Pressure:
Pressure is defined as force/unit area. In a filled balloon pressure is created by the collisions of
molecules with the walls of the balloon. The more air there is in the balloon, the more
collisions against the walls of the balloon, and the higher the pressure inside. Atmospheric
pressure or air pressure is caused by the collision of atmospheric gas particles with the earth.
There are many ways to measure pressure and it is often necessary to convert from one way to
another (using dimensional analysis). Examples of different pressure measurements are:

1 pound (lb)/in2
14.7 psi = 1 atm
1atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr = 101325 Pa = 14.7 psi
It is important that you recognize that when you see the above abbreviations pressure (P) is what
is being discussed.
Remember: to convert from one pressure unit to another use dimensional analysis.

Chemistry – Unit 2 Review
To prepare to do well on the Unit 2 test, you should assemble your packet to
review, as well as your lab book, preferably in a small group where you can draw
from each other’s understanding. Here are the key points you should know.
These are not a set of questions to work out, more of an outline- make sure you
understand all aspects!
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. One way energy is stored
in a system is kinetic energy (due to the motion of the particles). As particles
move faster, their kinetic energy increases. As the particles move faster, they
tend to move farther apart from one another. Temperature is a measure of the
kinetic energy of the system.
1. Explain why the alcohol level in a thermometer rises when it is placed in a
warmer fluid. (4-step process)
2. Explain why the alcohol level in a thermometer falls when it is placed in a cooler
fluid. (4-step process)
3. Explain how the Celsius scale was devised and why it is not appropriate to use it
when describing the behavior of gases. (review ws 1, PVTn lab)
Kinetic Molecular Theory This theory describes all matter as being composed of tiny particles in endless
random motion. In a solid, the particles vibrate, but are locked into an orderly
array. In a liquid, the particles are still touching but are free to move around
past one another. In a gas, the particles are moving very rapidly and are widely
separated. Using a series of particle diagrams, represent samples of a solid,
liquid, cold gas and hot gas.
Gas behavior Gas pressure is a measure of the collisions of the molecules with the sides of the
container. A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure; a manometer
is used to measure the pressure in a container. (review ws 3)
The 4 variables P, V, n, and T are interrelated. Any factor that affects the
number of collisions has effect on the pressure. You should be able to:
4. Predict the effect of changing P, V, n, or T on all of the other variables.
Remember: P α1/ V P αn T αV P αT
5. Explain (in terms of the collisions of particles) why the change has the effect you
predicted.
6. Explain why one must use the absolute temperature scale to solve gas problems.
7. Use factors to calculate the new P, V, n, or T (review ws 3). Make a decision as
to how the change affects the variable you are looking for.
8. Suppose that you lowered the temperature of a gas from 100˚C to 50 ˚C. By
what factor do you change the volume of the gas?
9. Suppose that 25.0 mL of a gas at 725 mm Hg and 20˚C is converted to standard
pressure and temperature. What would be the new volume?
10. Find your copy of The Model so Far and note what modifications in our
particle model of matter we have made in this unit.
