Abstract
The paper, which is intended for students and teachers of general and physical chemistry, presents questions relating to thermal, mechanical, and gas expansion processes and works out the energy involved. The examples illustrate the physical meaning of the SI unit for energy, the joule, and draws attention to the comparison between heat and mechanical energy. The energy expenditure involved in our basic bodily functions versus moderate activity is also discussed.
