4.2- ENTHALPY Flashcards
What does the amount of heat given out or taken in by a reaction vary with?
conditions
Examples of conditions that amount of energy given out or taken in by a reaction varies with? (3)
temp
pressure
concentration of solutions
As amount of heat given out or taken in be a reaction vary with conditions, what must be stated?
conditions under which measurements made
What is it called when you measure a heat change at constant pressure?
enthalpy change
What is the symbol for enthalpy?
H
What are the standard conditions for measuring enthalpy changes? (2)
pressure of 100kPa
temperature of 298K
What is the pressure of 100kPa approximatly?
approximately normal atmospheric pressure
What is the temperature of 298K around the same as?
normal room temp, 25°C
What is the standard state of an element?
state in which it exists at 298K and 100kPa
What is it written as when an enthalpy change is measured under standard conditions?
ΔH∘298
298 usually left out
When is a reaction thought to be over? (exothermic)
until products have cooled back to 298K
What is the heat given out to surroundings while reaction mixture cools?
enthalpy change for reaction
In an exothermic reaction what do the products end up with less of?
less heat energy than starting materials
Why do the products end up with less heat energy than the starting materials in an exothermic reaction?
as they have lost heat energy when they heated up their surroundings
What is the ΔH of exothermic reactions like?
negative
