Bond Energies ( 14.1 ) Flashcards
is bond making endothermic or exothermic
bond making is exothermic
is bond breaking endothermic or exothermic
bond breaking is endothermic
what does bond breaking require
bond breaking requires energy thus making it endothermic
what does bond making do
bond making releases energy thus making it exothermic
what is bond energy
this is the measurement of the strength of chemical bonds
what is the unit of bond energy
kj/mol
what is the equation of energy change
energy change = total bond energies of reactants - total bond energies of products
In a reaction, the total bond energies of the reactants was 29kJ/mol. The bond energies of the products were 1kJ/mol, 4kJ/mol and 9kJ/mol. What was the energy change?
29 - ( 1 + 4 + 9 )
answer = 15kj/mol
when is a reaction endothermic
if the total energy released by forming bonds is less than total energy required to break bonds.
