12) ENTHALPY Flashcards
Name the types of enthalpy
1) Enthalpy of combustion
2) Enthalpy of solution
3) Enthalpy of neutralisation
4) Hesses Law/ Enthalpy of formation
5) Bond Enthalpy
Definition of Enthalpy of combustion
The Enthalpy of combustion is the Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen
Is Enthalpy of combustion endothermic or exothermic
ALWAYS exothermic
What is the formula for working out Enthalpy of combustion
E=cm∆T
C= specific heat capacity (4.18 for water)
M= mass of water (1ml = 1g)
∆T = change in temperature of water
What is the definition of Enthalpy of solution
The Enthalpy of solution is the Enthalpy change when 1 mole of substance dissolves in water
How would you work out Enthalpy of solution
E=cm∆T
C= specific heat capacity (4.18 for water)
M= mass of water (1ml = 1g)
∆T = change in temperature of water
Is Enthalpy is solution endothermic or exothermic
Can be either, look at question to see if there are clues
E.g
There was a rise in temperature = exothermic
Or temperature dropped by = endothermic
What do you have to remember about the mass of water when working out Enthalpy while using this formula:
E=cm∆T
Turn the mass of water in kg
What are the units when you find out the Enthalpy of one mole
Kg/mole
What is Enthalpy of neutralisation
Enthalpy of neutralisation is the Enthalpy change when an acid is neutralised by an alkali to produce 1 mole of water
What are the steps in working out Enthalpy of Neutralisation
1) Balance equation
2) work out moles of reactants
3) mole ratio
4) E=cm∆T for water
5) work out energy for 1 mole of water
State Hesses Law
The Enthalpy change of a chemical reaction depends only on the chemical nature and physical states of the reactant and products, is independent of any intermediate steps
What are the 2 things to look out for when working out Enthalpy of combustion
- look at moles (make sure to balance equation)
* oxygen cannot combust
What do the following combust to make:
1) Carbon
2) Hydrogen
1) Carbon dioxide
2) Water
What is the final formula for working out Enthalpy of combustion
∆Hx = ∆H1 + ∆H2 - ∆H3
