whats an exothermic reaction
heat is given out so the temperature rises
1 of 20
whats an endothermic reaction
heat is taken in so the temperature drops
2 of 20
define enthalpy change
heat change at constant pressure under standard conditions (100kPa and 298K)
3 of 20
in an exothermic reaction is the enthalpy change negative or positive
negative
4 of 20
in an endothermic reaction is the enthalpy change negative or positive
positive
5 of 20
define standard molar enthalpy of formation
when one mole of substance is formed from its constituent elements under standard conditions, all reactants and products in their standard states
6 of 20
define molar enthalpy of combustion
when one mole of substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions, all reactants and products in their standard states
7 of 20
what is the enthalpy change equation
= mass of substance x specific heat capacity x temperature change
8 of 20
whats a neutralisation reaction
acid + alkali = salt + water (exothermic)
9 of 20
what is a displacement reaction
when a metal is more reactive than another it will displace it
10 of 20
heat loss can be allowed for by doing what
plotting a cooling curve and adding line of best fit
11 of 20
what is Hess's law
enthalpy change for a reaction is the same whatever route taken from reactants to products
12 of 20
what are allotropes
pure elements which can exist in different physical forms
13 of 20
define bond dissociation enthalpy
enthalpy change needed to break a covalent bond (species in gaseous state)
14 of 20
define mean bond enthalpy
average bond enthalpy for a given bond taken from a range of different compounds
15 of 20
whats required for a successful collision
right orientation and enough energy
16 of 20
what does maxwell-boltzmann distribution tell us
no particles have no energy, most have intermediate energies, and few have high energies
17 of 20
where is the most probable energy on a M-B distribution curve
at the peak
18 of 20
what does the M-B curve look like with an increased temperature
the peak is lower and moves to the right
19 of 20
how does a catalyst work
provides a different pathway for the reaction with lower Ea
