    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(energy)

    Thermal input necessary to evaporate all surface water on Earth. [243] [244] [245] Note that the evaporated water still remains on Earth, merely in vapor form. 4.2×10 27 J Kinetic energy of a regulation baseball thrown at the speed of the Oh-My-God particle, itself a cosmic ray proton with the kinetic energy of a baseball thrown at 60 mph (~50 J).

  3. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    One square metre of the Earth receives about 1.4 kilojoules of solar radiation every second in full daylight. [20] A human in a sprint has approximately 3 kJ of kinetic energy, [21] while a cheetah in a 122 km/h (76 mph) sprint has approximately 20 kJ. [22] One watt-hour, of electricity or any other form of energy, is 3.6 kJ. megajoule

  4. Kilocalorie per mole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilocalorie_per_mole

    As typically measured, one kcal/mol represents a temperature increase of one degree Celsius in one liter of water (with a mass of 1 kg) resulting from the reaction of one mole of reagents. In SI units , one kilocalorie per mole is equal to 4.184 kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol), which comes to approximately 6.9477 × 10 −21 joules per molecule ...

  5. Joule per mole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_per_mole

    It is also an SI derived unit of molar thermodynamic energy defined as the energy equal to one joule in one mole of substance. [1] [2] For example, the Gibbs free energy of a compound in the area of thermochemistry is often quantified in units of kilojoules per mole (symbol: kJ·mol −1 or kJ/mol), with 1 kilojoule = 1000 joules. [3]

  6. Activation energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy

    The activation energy (E a) of a reaction is measured in kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol) or kilocalories per mole (kcal/mol). [2] Activation energy can be thought of as the magnitude of the potential barrier (sometimes called the energy barrier) separating minima of the potential energy surface pertaining to the initial and final thermodynamic ...

  7. Thermochemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemical_equation

    , , and are the usual agents of a chemical equation with coefficients and is a positive or negative numerical value, which generally has units of kJ/mol. Another equation may include the symbol E {\displaystyle E} to denote energy; E {\displaystyle E} 's position determines whether the reaction is considered endothermic (energy-absorbing) or ...

  8. Enthalpy of vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization

    On the other hand, the molecules in liquid water are held together by relatively strong hydrogen bonds, and its enthalpy of vaporization, 40.65 kJ/mol, is more than five times the energy required to heat the same quantity of water from 0 °C to 100 °C (c p = 75.3 J/K·mol).

  9. Volumetric heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_heat_capacity

    In monatomic gases (like argon) at room temperature and constant volume, volumetric heat capacities are all very close to 0.5 kJ⋅K −1 ⋅m −3, which is the same as the theoretical value of ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ RT per kelvin per mole of gas molecules (where R is the gas constant and T is temperature). As noted, the much lower values for gas heat ...
