Energy
Energy is defined as the ability to do work or transfer heat.
The SI unit of energy is the joule (J).
(1 J = 0.2388 cal)
The SI unit of power is the watt (W).
(1 W = 1 J/s)

Energy
Energy can be considered to exist in two forms:
1. Potential energy: Energy of position or stored energy.
2. Kinetic energy: Energy of motion.

Energy and the Life Support System
The biosphere is the thin film of air, water, and soil where life exists. Only a small amount of the energy the biosphere receives is used to support life.30% of solar radiation is reflected back to space.23% of solar radiation powers the water cycle.<0.02% is used by green plants to power photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces oxygen and stores energy for all animals on the planet.

Energy and Chemical Reactions
Factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction include:• Temperature: Increasing temperature
increases reaction rates.• Concentration reactants: Reaction rates are
dependent on reactant concentration. As concentration increases, rate increases.
• Presence of catalysts: Catalysts increase the rate of reactions by lowering activation energy.

The First Law of Thermodynamics
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
This is also known as the law of conservation of energy.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics
Energy flows spontaneously from hotter objects toward colder objects.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics
Entropy is a measure of dispersal of energy. Another way of stating the second law is to say that for all spontaneous processes, the entropy of the universe is increasing.

People Power: Early Uses of Energy
Early man obtained energy from hunting and gathering of animals and plants.
Plant materials were the first fuels. Even today, wood and dried dung are the principle fuel used by one-third of the people on Earth.

Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels including coal, oil, and natural gas provide more than 90% of the energy consumed in a modern society.
Fuels are substances that, when burned, release significant amounts of energy. Fuels are a reduced form of matter. Combustion is an oxidation process that is exothermic.

Coal: The Carbon Rock of Ages
Coal is abundant, and is by far the most plentiful fossil fuel.
It is, however, hazardous to obtain and inconvenient to use due to its solid nature.
![Page 22: Chemistry for Changing Times 12 th Edition Hill and Kolb Chapter 15 Energy: A Fuels Paradise John Singer Jackson Community College, Jackson, MI © 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d5f5503460f94a3fecf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Coal: The Carbon Rock of Ages
Much coal contains sulfur, which when combusted, produces sulfur dioxide (SO2), which contributes to acid rain.

Coal: The Carbon Rock of Ages
Coal is also a source of other chemical substances.
When coal is heated in the absence of air, the volatile compounds are driven off leaving coke, which is used to produce iron and steel.
The volatile materials can be condensed into coal tar, which can be used as a source of organic compounds for medical and industrial purposes.

Natural Gas: Mostly Methane
Natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels.
It can also be used as a raw material for the production of many industrial chemicals.

Petroleum: Liquid Hydrocarbons
By 1950, petroleum had displaced coal as a principle fuel.
Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons.
Its combustion with oxygen can be represented as follows:
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H20

Petroleum: Liquid Hydrocarbons
Gasoline is a lighter fraction from crude oil. It is actually a mixture of more than 150 different compounds.
The gasoline fraction that comes from a distillation column is called straight-run gasoline and does not perform well in a modern, high-compression automobile engine.

Octane Ratings of Gasoline
The octane rating of gasoline is a measure of the fuel’s ability to resist knocking. Knocking occurs when the fuel combusts before the spark plug fires.

Petroleum: Liquid HydrocarbonsOctane Ratings of Gasoline
Isooctane is very resistant to knocking and is assigned an octane rating of 100. Heptane is given an octane rating of zero. Gasoline with an octane rating of 90 performs the same as a mixture of 90% isooctane and 10% heptane.

Solar Energy
It has been noted that nearly all of the energy available on Earth comes from the sun.
Energy from the sun is diffuse and must be concentrated to make it useful.

Biomass: Photosynthesis for Fuel
Combustion of agricultural waste, fermentation to ethanol or methane, and the fermentation of human and animal wastes to methane have all been and are being used as sources of energy.

Hydrogen: Light and Powerful
Hydrogen can be burned cleanly as fuel or used in fuel cells.
When hydrogen burns, it produces water and energy.
2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(g) + 572 kJ

Other Renewable Energy Sources
Wind and Water
Both wind (windmills) and water (dams and hydroelectric plants) have been used to turn turbines and produce electricity.

Other Renewable Energy Sources
Geothermal Energy
In a geothermal plant, water is pumped to the interior of Earth, where it is heated and converted to steam.

Other Renewable Energy Sources
Oceans of Energy
Ocean thermal energy has been shown to be workable since 1932.
Also, tides and wave action can be converted to useful energy with appropriate technology.

Energy: How Much Is Too Much?
The demand for energy is ever-increasing and our useful sources are dwindling. These competing demands will cause many changes in our future.
