A reaction in which the enthalpy of the products is greater than the enthalpy of the reactants, resulting in heat being taken in from the surroundings. ΔH is positive.
1 of 12
Standard enthalpy change of reaction
The enthalpy change that accompanies a reaction in the molar quantities shown in a chemical equation under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard state. ΔrH⊖.
2 of 12
Exothermic
A reaction in which the enthalpy of the products is smaller than the enthalpy of the reactants, resulting in heat loss to the surroundings. ΔH is negative.
3 of 12
Enthalpy
The heat content that is stored in a chemical system.
4 of 12
Standard enthalpy of combustion
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard state. ΔcHΘ

Activation energy
The minimum energy required to start a reaction by the breaking of bonds.
6 of 12
Standard enthalpy change of formation
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard state. ΔfHΘ.
7 of 12
Standard state
The physical state of a substance under standard conditions of 100kPa and a stated temperature (usually 298K).
8 of 12
Standard conditions
A specified temperature, 1atm of pressure and a 1mol/dm3.
9 of 12
Conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another or from one object to another.
