Objectives Any chemical reaction that occurs is accompanied by different forms of energy change. In the combustion of fuel it takes the form of heat and light. Chemical reactions in batteries obtain electrical energy. Photosynthesis for the bio-synthesis of glucose requires the absorption of light energy from the sun. Thus, the topic of this lesson is to study chemical processes in which heat is either evolved or absorbed.
Subject 1. Fundamentals
