9.1 - 9.4 Flashcards
Define enthalpy
- the heat content that is stored in a chemical system
Define the standard enthalpy change of atomisation
- the enthalpy change that takes place when 1mole of gaseous atoms forms from the elements in its standard state and standard condition
Na(s) —> Na(g)
Define standard enthalpy change of combustion
- the enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions all reactants and products being in their standard states
Define standard enthalpy change of formation
- the enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard a states under standard conditions
C(s) + O2(g) —> CO2(g)
Define standard enthalpy change of hydration
- the enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of isolated gaseous ions is dissolved in water forming 1 mole of aqueous ions under standard conditions
Na+(g) —> Na(aq)
Define standard enthalpy change of neutralisation
- the enthalpy change that takes accompanies the reaction of an acid by a base to form 1 mole of H2O(l), under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states
1/2 H2SO4(aq) + NaOH(aq) —> Na2SO4(aq) + H2O(l)
Define standard enthalpy change of reaction
- the enthalpy change that accompanies a reaction in the molar quantities expressed in a chemical equation under standard conditions, all reactants and products being in their standard states
Define standard enthalpy change of solution
- the enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a compound is completely dissolved in water under standard conditions
NaCl(s) —> NaCl(aq)
Define enthalpy change
- is the heat change in a reaction at constant pressure
What are the units of enthalpy change
- kJmol^-1
What are the standard conditions for enthalpy change
- 298K
- 100kPa
What are endothermic reactions
- reactions that absorb energy from the surroundings
Are endothermic reactions positive of negative
- positive
Describe how an energy profile of an endothermic reaction would look
- products higher that reactants
- positive ^H
What are exothermic reactions
- reactions that release energy to the surroundings
Are exothermic reactions positive or negative
- neagtive
Describe how an energy profile of an endothermic reaction would look
- products lower than reactants
- negative ^H
Where do you label activation energy on an energy profile diagram
- from the reactants to the top of the curve
What is an example of an endothermic reaction
- thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate
What is an example of an exothermic reaction
- combustion of ethane
When are bonds broken and made
- during a reaction
What is needed to break bonds and so is bond breaking exothermic or endothermic
- energy is needed to be absorbed
- so it is endothermic positive ^H
What happens when making bonds and so is bond breaking exothermic or endothermic
- energy is released
- so it is exothermic, negative ^H
What is bond dissociation enthalpy
- the energy needed per mole to break attractive forces in bonds
