Define enthalpy change.
Amount of heat energy taken in or given out during any change in a system provided the pressure is constant. kJ/mol
1 of 12
Define exothermic and list three exothermic reactions.
Energy is transferred from system to surroundings. Combustion, neutralisation, respiration
2 of 12
Define endothermic and list three endothermic reactions.
Energy is transferred from surroundings to system. Thermal decomposition, photosynthesis, dissolving of potassium nitrate.
3 of 12
Define standard enthalpy change of reaction.
The enthalpy change measured when the number of moles of substances in the equation as written react, under standard conditions 298K and 1 atm.
4 of 12
What is Hess's Law?
The total enthalpy change involved in converting reactants into products is the same regardless of the route taken.
5 of 12
What is the standard enthalpy change of formation?
The enthalpy change when one mole of compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions, 298K and 1 atm.
6 of 12
What is the enthalpy change of formation for an element?
0 kJ/mol
7 of 12
Name the assumptions during experiments to calculate enthalpy changes.
No heat is transferred between the solution and surroundings. Solution has same density and specific heat capacity as water.
8 of 12
Define the standard enthalpy of combustion.
Enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of the substance undergoes complete combustion under standard conditions, 298K and 1 atm.
9 of 12
Define the standard enthalpy change of neutralisation.
enthalpy change measured when one mole of H ions neutralises a mole of OH ions to form a mole of water.
10 of 12
What is a bond enthalpy?
enthalpy change when a mole of bond in the gaseous state is broken.
11 of 12
Define mean bond enthalpy.
Enthalpy needed to break the covalent bond into gaseous atoms, submerged over different molecules.
