Year one energetics

?
Define enthalpy change
Heat is the hear energy transferred in a reaction at constant pressure
1 of 13
What is the symbol for enthalpy and the units?
delta H and KJ mol-1
2 of 13
What are the standard conditions for enthalpy?
100KPa, 298K and all concentrations are 1 molar
3 of 13
Define exothermic
Reactions that give out heat, ∆H is negative
4 of 13
Define endothermic
Reactions that absorb energy, ∆H is positive
5 of 13
What type of reaction occurs when you break bonds?
You need energy to break bonds, so bond breaking is endothermic
6 of 13
What type of reaction occurs when you form bonds?
Energy is released when bonds are formed, so bond making is exothermic
7 of 13
Define bond enthalpy
Energy required to break a certain amount of bonds, always will be ∆
8 of 13
Why are book data values for enthalpy different from actual?
Book values use mean bond enthalpies
9 of 13
State the calorimetry equation
q = m x c x delta T, q= enthalpy change, m= mass of water g, c= 4.18, delta T= temp change in K
10 of 13
State Hess' law
The total enthalpy change of a reaction is independent to the route taken
11 of 13
Define standard enthalpy of formation
When 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions
12 of 13
Define standard enthalpy of combustion
When 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions
