Q

How would you calculate an enthalpy change?

A

Mass of solution heated x specific heat capacity of solution x temperature change

17
Q

What is Hess’ Law?

A

The total enthalpy change of a reaction is always the same, no matter which route is taken

18
Q

What is the enthalpy change of formation for elements?

A

Zero

19
Q

How can the enthalpy changes of reaction be worked out from enthalpy changes of formation?

A

Using the formation of the reactants and products, and the enthalpy change of reaction on top

20
Q

How can enthalpy changes be worked out from enthalpy of combustion?

A

By using the combustion of both reactants and products and putting the unknown on top

21
Q

How can indirect enthalpy changes be found?

A

By doing the required experiments and then using Hess’ Law

22

24
Q

What is bond enthalpy?

A

The energy needed to break q mole of a type of bond in a molecule in the gas phase

25
Q

How are mean bond enthalpies calculated?

A

By taking an average of all the different values fr a bond type

26
Q

How can enthalpy changes be worked out from bond enthalpies?

A

Sum of bond enthalpies of reactants - sum of bond enthalpies of proudcts
