Differentiate between matter and energy and between potential energy and kinetic energy.
Define potential energy and kinetic energy and provide two specific examples of each. Explain how one form of energy can be converted into another. Will some energy be lost during this conversion? If so, what form will it take?
While walking to biochemistry class with a friend, you see the following graffiti spray painted on the wall of the science building: “When a system is in equilibrium, the Gibbs free energy is maximum.” You are disgusted, not only at the vandalism, but at the ignorance of the vandal. Your friend asks you to explain.
