Q

What is enthalpy a measure of?

A

ONLY heat exchanged under constant pressure!

17
Q

Endothermic reactions?

A

a chemical rxn with positive ΔH, ABSORBS heat from surroundings.

18
Q

EXOthermic reactions?

A

a chemical rxn with negative (-ΔH), GIVES heat to surroundings.

19
Q

Look over manipulating ΔHrxn, Hess’ Law!!!

A

yes.

20
Q

formula to calculate standard enthalpy of REACTION!

A

Δ H°rxn=(ΣΔ H°f(products)x(n))-(ΣΔ H°f(reactants)x(n)).
