Enthalpy H
Heat content that is stored in a chemical system
1 of 18
Exothermic
reaction in which the enthalpy of the products is smaller than the enthalpy of the reactants - loss to the surroundings
2 of 18
Endothermic
Reaction in which the enthalpy of products is greater than the enthalpy of the reactants - heat taken in from the enviroment
3 of 18
Activation energy
Minimum energy required to start a reaction by breaking of bonds
4 of 18
Standard Conditions
100 kPa(1 atmosphere, 298K(25C) and 1 mol if aqueous
5 of 18
Standard State
Physical state of a substance under standard conditions
6 of 18
Standard Enthalpy of Reaction
Enthalpy change that accompanies a reaction in the molar quantaties expressed in a chemical equation under standard conditions, all reactants and products in their standard states
7 of 18
Standard Enthalpy of Combustion
Enthalpy change that accompanies a reaction when 1 mole of a substance reacts completely with Oxygen under standard conditions, all reactants and products in their standard states
8 of 18
Standard Enthalpy of Formation
Of a compound is the enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their under standard conditions, all reactants and products in their standard states
9 of 18
Specific heat capacity, c
The energy required in order to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1 Celsius
10 of 18
Bond enthalpy
Energy change that takes place when breaking by homolytic fission 1 mol of a given bond in the molecules of a gaseous species
11 of 18
Average Bond Enthalpy
The average enthalpy change that takes place when breaking by homolyric fission 1 mol of a given type of bond in the molecules of a gaseous species
12 of 18
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 routes
13 of 18
Rate of reaction
Change in concerntration of a reactant or a product in a given time
14 of 18
Heterogeneous Catalyst
Catalyst of a reaction in which the catalyst has a different physical state from the reactants, frequently reactants are gases whilst the catalyst is a solid
15 of 18
Homogeneous Catalyst
Catalyst of a reaction in which the catalyst and reactants are in the same physical state, which is most frequently in the aqueous or gaseous state
16 of 18
Le Chatelier's Principle
When a system is in dynamic equilibrium is subjected to a change, the position of the equilibrium will shift to minimize the change
17 of 18
Dynamic Equilibrium
The equilibrium that exists in a closed system when the rate of the foward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
