Q

Is molar heat of combustion positive or negative?

A

Positive (because it releases heat).

10
Q

What is the molar enthalpy of solution/heat of solution?

A

The heat absorbed when one mole of the substance dissolves in a large excess of water.

10
Q

What is the law of conservation of energy?

A

Energy can be neither created nor destroyed but it can be changed from one form to another.

11
Q

What is ∆H sometimes referred to as?

A

The heat of reaction.

12
Q

What is dissociation?

A

Dissolving ionic substances in aqueous solution to form separated ions.

12
Q

What is the molar heat of combustion?

A

The heat liberated when 1 mole of the substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen at a constant pressure of 100.0 kPa, with the final products being carbon dioxide gas and liquid water.

13
Q

What is an energy profile?

A

A diagram which shows the variation of the energy of a reacting system as a function of the progress of the reaction.

13
Q

Is the enthalpy change for a combustion process and enthalpy of combustion positive or negative?

A

Negative (because heat is absorbed).

13
Q

Do catalysts have any effect on the enthalpy change for the reaction?

A

No.
