Q

What is the formula to calculate enthalpy change- ΔH?

A

ΔH = q ÷ n

n is no. moles

units = kJmol-1

all values must be + or - .

+ is endo (temp goes down)

- is exo (temp goes up)

Q

Why are experimental values often less negative, or less exothermic, than data book values?

A
  1. Heat loss to surroundings (air/apparatus)
  2. Incomplete combustion
  3. Evaporation from the wick of spirit burner
  4. Use of non-standard conditions.

Q

What are limitations with using AVERAGE bond enthalpy calculations?

A
  1. Actual energy involved in breaking+making individual bonds could be slightly different.
  2. All species have to be gaseous molecules, so calculation wont give standard enthalpy change.
