Enthalpy Key Definitions

?
Enthalpy
H- heat content that is stored in chemical reaction
1 of 16
Exothermic
Enthalpy of the products is smaller than the enthalpy of the reactants- heat loss to the surroundings (-deltaH)
2 of 16
Endothermic
Enthalpy of the products is greater than the enthalpy of the reactants- heat taken in from the surroundings (+deltaH)
3 of 16
Enthalpy Profile
A diagram for a reaction to compare the enthalpy of the reactants with the enthalpy of the products
4 of 16
Activation Energy
The minimum energy required to start a reaction (breaking of bonds)
5 of 16
Standard Conditions
Pressure- 100kPa (1 atmosphere), Temperature- 298K (25°C) -1.0 moldm-3 solutions where solutions are involved
6 of 16
Standard State
The physical state of a substance under the standard conditions
7 of 16
The Standard Enthalpy of a Reaction
The enthalpy change that accompanies a reaction in the molar quantities expressed in a chemical equation under standard conditions
8 of 16
The Standard Enthalpy Change of Neutralisation
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of water is is formed from reaction between an acid and an alkali, under standard conditions
9 of 16
The Standard Enthalpy Change of Combustion
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions
10 of 16
The Standard Enthalpy Change of Formation
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states
11 of 16
Specific Heat Capacity
C, the energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C
12 of 16
Bond Enthalpy
The enthalpy change that takes place when breaking, by homolytic fission, 1 mole of a given bond in gaseous molecules
13 of 16
Average Bond Enthalpy
The average enthalpy change when breaking, by homolytic fission, 1 mole of a given type of bond in gaseous molecules
14 of 16
Hess' Law
If a reaction can take place by more than one route and the initial and final conditions are the same, the total enthalpy change is the same for each route
15 of 16
Enthalpy Cycle
A diagram showing alternative routes between reactants and products which allows the indirect determination of an enthalpy change from other known enthalpy changes using Hess' Law
