1.4 Energetics Flashcards
What is standard enthalpy changes?
When 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions
what is standard enthalpy change of combustion?
will always be exothermic as burning relases heat
Combustion enthalpy must always start with 1 mole of what substance you are burning
what is an enthalpy change?
Bonds broken - bonds formed
describe exothermic
Energy released from formation is more then energy needed to break bonds
Describe endothermic
energy absorbed to break bonds is greater than energy released from making them
what is bond dissociation enthalpy
The enthalpy change needed to break a covalent bond with all species in a gaseous state
what is mean bond enthalpy
The average values of the bond dissociation enthalpy taken from a range of different compounds
