1. This document defines various types of energy including kinetic energy, potential energy, internal energy, chemical energy, radiant energy, mechanical energy, thermal energy, and electrical energy. It also discusses the first law of thermodynamics, heat transfer, work, and state vs. path properties. 2. Several calorimetry examples are provided to calculate heat transfer and energy changes during phase changes and chemical reactions using concepts like molar heat capacity and Hess's law. 3. The document concludes with a sample problem using stoichiometry to calculate the energy released when nitroglycerine detonates based on the heat released per gram.
