Standard enthalpy change of formation.
The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions.
1 of 9
The principle of conservation energy.
This states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one state to another.
2 of 9
Bond enthalpy.
The enthalpy change required to break a covalent bond with all its species in the gaseous state.
3 of 9
Hess's Law
This states that the enthalpy change of a reaction is always the same, whatever route is taken from reactants to products.
4 of 9
Standard enthalpy change of combustion.
This is the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is burned completely in oxygen under standard conditions.
5 of 9
Standard conditions.
a). All substances in their standard states. b). Pressure of 100kPa. c). Temperature of 298K.
6 of 9
Elastic potential energy.
A type of energy within a system, caused by the position of atoms relative to one another.
7 of 9
Enthalpy change.
The heat change of a reaction at constant pressure.
8 of 9
Enthalpy
The total energy content of a system at constant pressure.
