Heating Curve A graphical representation of the relationship between temperature and time as a substance is heated.
- Effect of changing temperature on rate of reaction:
Effect of changing temperature on rate of reaction: Grade 10 SABIS increasing the temperature increases the average kinetic energy of the reactant particles, the number of particles that collide with activation energy or more increases, thus the number of effective collisions increases and so does the rate. A second, not as important, effect is an increase in the collision frequency.

- Energy Conversion
Energy Conversion Grade 10 SABIS Energy conversion refers to the process of transforming energy from one form to another. It involves the conversion of energy between different types, such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, or radiant energy. To understand energy conversion, let's consider an everyday example: a car. When you drive a car, the engine converts the chemical energy stored in fuel into mechanical energy to move the vehicle. Here, energy is transformed from the chemical form (fuel) to mechanical energy (motion). Another example of energy conversion is the use of solar panels to generate electricity. Solar panels convert radiant energy from the sun into electrical energy, which can be used to power homes, devices, or charge batteries. In a similar manner, a wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. The movement of the wind blades causes the rotor to spin, generating electricity through the conversion of kinetic energy to electrical energy. In thermodynamics, a steam power plant exemplifies energy conversion. Heat energy from burning fossil fuels or nuclear reactions is used to produce steam, which then drives a turbine to generate electrical energy. Here, the energy is converted from thermal energy to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy. Energy conversion is also evident in the use of batteries. When you charge a battery, electrical energy from a power source is converted into chemical energy, which is stored in the battery for later use. When you use the battery, the stored chemical energy is then converted back into electrical energy. Furthermore, when you switch on a light bulb, electrical energy is converted into radiant energy (light) and thermal energy (heat) as the filament emits light and produces heat. In our bodies, food is converted into energy through a process called cellular respiration. The chemical energy stored in food molecules is transformed into usable energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which powers various biological processes. Energy conversion is essential in various industries and technologies. For example, in hydroelectric power plants, the potential energy of water stored in dams is converted into kinetic energy as it flows downhill, which is then transformed into electrical energy. In summary, energy conversion is the process of transforming energy from one form to another. Examples such as cars converting chemical energy to mechanical energy, solar panels converting radiant energy to electrical energy, and batteries converting electrical energy to chemical energy help illustrate the concept. Energy conversion plays a crucial role in various systems, technologies, and natural processes, enabling the utilization and transfer of energy in different forms for everyday applications.

- Application on Hess’s Law
Application on Hess’s Law Grade 10 SABIS Question 1: Given the following reactions and their respective enthalpy changes: C(graphite) + O2(g) → CO2(g) ΔH1 = -393.5 kJ/mol CO(g) + 1/2O2(g) → CO2(g) ΔH2 = -283.0 kJ/mol C(graphite) + 1/2O2(g) → CO(g) ΔH3 = -110.5 kJ/mol Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction: C(graphite) + 1/2O2(g) → CO2(g) Answer 1: To calculate the enthalpy change for the given reaction, we can use Hess's Law. By manipulating the given reactions, we can cancel out the common compounds and add the enthalpy changes. Adding reactions 2 and 3 gives: 2CO(g) + O2(g) → 2CO2(g) ΔH2 + ΔH3 = -283.0 kJ/mol + (-110.5 kJ/mol) = -393.5 kJ/mol Since this reaction is the reverse of reaction 1, the enthalpy change for the given reaction is the negative of ΔH1. ΔH = -(-393.5 kJ/mol) = 393.5 kJ/mol Question 2: Given the following reactions and their respective enthalpy changes: N2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO(g) ΔH1 = 180.6 kJ/mol 1/2N2(g) + O2(g) → NO2(g) ΔH2 = 33.2 kJ/mol Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction: NO(g) + NO2(g) → N2O3(g) Answer 2: To calculate the enthalpy change for the given reaction, we can use Hess's Law. By manipulating the given reactions, we can cancel out the common compounds and add the enthalpy changes. Multiplying reaction 2 by 2 gives: N2(g) + 2O2(g) → 2NO2(g) 2ΔH2 = 2(33.2 kJ/mol) = 66.4 kJ/mol Adding reactions 1 and 2 gives: 2N2(g) + 2O2(g) → 4NO(g) 2ΔH1 + 2ΔH2 = 2(180.6 kJ/mol) + 66.4 kJ/mol = 427.6 kJ/mol Since this reaction is the reverse of the desired reaction, the enthalpy change for the given reaction is the negative of the calculated value. ΔH = -427.6 kJ/mol Question 3: Given the following reactions and their respective enthalpy changes: 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l) ΔH1 = -572 kJ/mol 2H2O(l) → 2H2(g) + O2(g) ΔH2 = 572 kJ/mol Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction: H2(g) + 1/2O2(g) → H2O(l) Answer 3: To calculate the enthalpy change for the given reaction, we can use Hess's Law.
