5. Bond Breakers and Makers: The Energetics of Reactions Flashcards
Specific heat capacity
The amount of energy required to increase the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degrees C
What is the term for energy lost/ gained in a system
Enthalapy
What type of reaction is it if heat absorbed during reaction? (-Delta H)
Endothermic
What type of reaction is it if heat released during reaction? (+Delta H)
Exothermic
How many bonds are broken and formed during chemical reaction
Same amount of bonds on each side
The energy released or absorbed is the_______?
Bond energy
In endothermic reactions________?
Energy needed to break the bond is more than energy released when new bonds are made.
Different bonds have_______?
Different bond energies
In exothermic reactions________?
Energy needed to break the bond is less than energy released when new bonds are made
Activation energy
Minimal energy required to break bonds/ so atoms can seperate
