(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion of kinetic energy into potential energy or the vice versa in the given process has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Energy:

Energy is the capacity to do work, and can neither be created nor destroyed.  Generally, chemical reaction almost always either release or absorb energy.

Types of energy:

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion.  Thermal energy, mechanical energy, electrical energy, and acoustic energy are categorized in kinetic energy.

Potential energy is the energy results from an object’s position or state.  Gravitational energy, chemical energy, and electrostatic energy are categorized in potential energy.

A typical candy bar weighs about 2 oz (1.00 oz = 28.4 g).(a) Assuming that a candy bar is 100% sugar and that 1.0 g of sugar is equivalent to about 4.0 Calories of energy, calculate the energy (in kJ) contained in a typical candy bar.(b) Assuming that your mass is 58 kg and you convert chemical potential energy to work with 100% efficiency, how high would you have to climb to work off the energy in a candy bar? (Potential energy = mass × g × height, where g = 9.8 m/s2.)(c) Why is your actual conversion of potential energy to work less than 100% efficient?
1.42 (a) and (b)
The calorie (4.184 J) was originally defined as the quantity of energy required to raise the temperature of 1.00 g of liquid water 1.00°C. The British thermal unit (Btu) is defined as the quantity of energy required to raise the temperature of 1.00 lb of liquid water 1.00°F.(a) How many joules are in 1.00 Btu (1 lb 453.6 g; a changeof 1.0°C= 1.8°F)?(b) The therm is a unit of energy consumption and is defined as 100,000 Btu. How many joules are in 1.00 therm?(c) How many moles of methane must be burned to give1.00 therm of energy? (Assume water forms as a gas.)(d) If natural gas costs $0.66 per therm, what is the cost per moleof methane? (Assume natural gas is pure methane.)(e) How much would it cost to warm 318 gal of water in a hottub from 15.0°C to 42.0°C (1 gal 3.78 L)?
