?
what is enthalpy change?
heat energy transferred in a reaction at constant pressure. ∆H=kJmol-1
1 of 14
what are standard conditions?
100kPa and 298K
2 of 14
what are endothermic reactions?
take in energy from their surroundings. Products have more energy than reactants. ∆H=+ive
3 of 14
what are exothermic reactions?
give out energy to their surroundings. Products get less energy than reactants. ∆H=-ive
4 of 14
what is bond breaking?
endothermic
5 of 14
what is bond making?
exothermic
6 of 14
why are mean bond enthalpies used?
energy to break a bond varies depending on its location
7 of 14
why are mean bond enthlpies always positive?
breakinhg bonds is always endothemic
8 of 14
how do you calculate enthalpy change?
total energy absorbed-total energy released
9 of 14
what's the enthalpy of reaction?
enthalpy change when a reaction occurs in the molecular quantities shown in the chemical equation, under standard conditions with all reactants and products in their standard states
10 of 14
what's the enthalpy of formation?
enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its consistuent elements in their standard states under standard conditions
11 of 14
what's the enthalpy of combustion?
enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions with all reactants and products in standard states
12 of 14
what is Q=mc∆t
Q-enthalpy change in Joules, m-mass of solution, c-specific heat capacity of water, ∆t-change in temperature
13 of 14
what does hess's law state?
Total enthalpy change of a reaction is always the same, no matter which route is taken
