Energetics Definitions

?
Exothermic
Reactions that give out heat energy
1 of 14
Endothermic
Reactions that take in heat energy
2 of 14
Enthalpy
The total thermodynamic energy in a system (the system can be the reactants or products)
3 of 14
Enthalpy Change
Change in energy in a system (units are kJmol-1)
4 of 14
Standard States
The physical state (solid, liquid, gas) of a substance under standard condition
5 of 14
Standard Enthalpy Changes
Change in heat energy at constant pressure measured at standard conditions
6 of 14
Standard Enthalpy Change of Combustion
The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is completely burnt in oxygen under standard conditions. (value will always be negative as burning always releases heat)
7 of 14
Standard Enthalpy Change of Neutralisation
The enthalpy change when one mole of water is produced in a neutralisation reaction under standard conditions. (value is always negative)
8 of 14
Standard Enthalpy Change of Formation
The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions
9 of 14
Standard Enthalpy of a Reaction
The enthalpy change when substances react together under standard conditions with the number of moles given by the equation for the reaction
10 of 14
Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another
11 of 14
Hess's Law
The enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route taken, provided the initial and final conditions are the same
12 of 14
Bond Enthalpy
The energy required to break one mole of a given bond
13 of 14
Average Bond Enthalpy
The energy required to break one mole of a given bond averaged over many compounds
