06 - enthalpy changes Flashcards
exothermic reaction?
heat energy is released during a reaction, change in H = - ive
surroundings include:
. the solvent
. air around test tube
. test tube
. anything dipping in the test tube
examples of exothermic reactions:
. combustion of fuels
. oxidation of carbs in plant and animals bodies
. reaction of water with calcium oxide
endothermic reaction?
heat is absorbed during a reaction, value of change in H is +ive
examples of endothermic reactions?
. thermal decomposition reactions
. photosynthesis
. dissolving certain ammonium salts in water
what is enthalpy change?
the heat energy transferred during a chemical reaction
what is enthalpy change?
the heat energy transferred during a chemical reaction
unit = kJ mol-1
symbol = <> (delta)
what are reaction pathway diagrams?
shows the relative enthalpies of the reactants and products and rhe enthalpy change as an arrow, may include activation energy
x = reaction pathway
y = enthalpy change
what is activation energy?
the minimum energy that colliding particles must possess to break bonds to start a chemical reaction
always positive value of <>H
enthalpy change in reaction pathway diagrams
exo - arrow goes down
endo - arrow goes up
FROM REACTANTS TO PRODUCTS

FROM REACTANTS TO PRODUCTS
what are standard conditions?
. 101 kPa pressure
. 298K temperature
. each substance involved in reaction is in its normal physical state (solid, liquid, gas)
symbol = circle with horizontal line between
what are the types of enthalpy changes?
. enthalpy change of formation
. enthalpy change of combustion
. enthalpy change of neutralisation
. enthalpy change of reaction
what is enthalpy change of reaction
the enthalpy change when the amount of reactants shown in the stoichiometric equation react to give products under standard conditions
EXO OR ENDO
what is enthalpy change of formation
the enthalpy change when one mole of compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions
EXO OR ENDO
