Throughout chemistry, physics, and life there are six specific types of energy. Although there are six specific types of energy, there are two main forms of energy. These types of energy are called, kinetic, and potential energy. Kinetic energy is a type of energy in motion. Potential energy is energy that is stored through objects, by configuration, and or position. However there is a law of energy. Which is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted. This law is called conservation of energy. Conservation of energy has four choices to be conserved through, heat, electrical, light, and chemical.
Everywhere in the world there is radiation. One type of radiation is called electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is dispersed through seven types. These types are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic radiation has …show more content…
There are two types of ways to find calorimetry. One type is coffee cup calorimetry. This is when simple equipment is to be used to measure the quantity of heat gained or lost by a system. Another type is bomb calorimetry. Chemists in some cases use a tool known as a bomb calorimeter that measures heat exchanges, that interact with chemical reactions, especially combustion reactions (Physics Classroom). The calorimeter equation is Q=M x C x delta T. Q in the calorimeter equation means heat, M is for mass, delta T is for change in temperature, and C is for the specific heat capacity. Specific Heat Capacity is a constant that is needed for substances that need to be raised by one degrees
