  • enthalpy changes
    • heat energy transferred in a reaction at a constant pressure in kJmol-1
    • ?H? means substances were in their standard states and the measurements were made in their standard conditions
      • 100KPa and a stated temperature (298 kelvin)
    • exothermic: reactions give out energy and have -?H
      • making bonds is -?H because energy is released
      • if you need less energy to break bonds than is released when bonds are made
    • endothermic reactions absorb energy and have +?H
      • breaking bonds is +?H because you need energy to break them
      • if you need more energy to break bonds than is released when bonds are made
    • standard enthalpy of formation ?fH?
      • ?H when 1 mol of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states and under standard conditions
    • standard enthalpy of combustion ?cH?
      • ?H when 1 mol of a substances completelyburned in oxygen under standard conditions
    • standard enthalpy of a reaction ?H?
      • enthalpy change when things react together under standard conditions
    • the exact energy needed to break the bonds depends on the environment.
      • in calculations you use the mean bind enthalpy
        • mean bond enthalpy: The enthalpy change when one mole of a type of covalent bond is broken averaged out across the range of compounds
        • not exact
