3.1.4.1 Enthalpy Change Flashcards
What is an exothermic reaction?
A reaction that gives out energy to the surrounding so the temperature increases
What is an endothermic reaction?
A reaction that takes in energy from the surrounding so the temperature decreases
What is enthalphy change?
The heat enerfgy transfer in a reaction at constant pressure (KJ/mol)
What is the overall enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction?
Negative
What is the overall enthalpy change for an endothermic reaction?
Positive
What is the symbol for enthalpy change?
ΔH
What is standard conditions?
100kpa or 1atm
298K or 25°C
What are the three types of enthalpy chage?
Enthalpy of combustion
Enthalpy of formation
Enthalpy of reaction
What is the definition for Enthalpy change of formation?
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is formed from its consistuent elements under standard states and reactants being in their standard states
What is the symbol for Enthalpy change of formation?
ΔfH°
What is the definition for Enthalpy change of combustion?
The enthalpy change when one mole of substance is completely byurnt in oxygen under standard conditions and reactants being in their standard states
What is the symbol for Enthalpy change of combustion?
ΔcH°
