A chemical equation should be balanced, so that when you make calculations based on the equation you must be able to relate the products to the reactants or vice versa. An example of using equations for calculations in chemistry is with the subject stoichiometry.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. Potential energy on the other hand is the energy possessed by a body based on its position.
Kinetic energy of a body is determined by the equation; K.E = 3RT/2;
From the equation, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the system and therefore an increase in the kinetic energy of a sample causes an increase in temperature of the system.
