the enthalpy of a system is …?
the sum of its internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume
H = U + PV
What is the equation for the change of the enthalpy of a system?
ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
Define exothermic reaction
a chemical reaction that releases heat into its surroundings; for an exothermic reaction, ∆H < 0
A positive ΔH indicates …?
heat flows into the system as the reaction occurs
A negative ΔH indicates …?
heats flows out of the system as a reaction occurs
A positive ΔH means the reaction is _____
endothermic
A negative ΔH means the reaction is ___
exothermic
Define endothermic reaction
a chemical reaction that absobrbs heat from its suroroundings; for an endothermic reaction, ∆H > 0
What is symbol the enthalpy change of a reaction?
ΔᵣH
The enthaply change of reaction is also called _____ __ ____ or ____ ____
enthalpy of reaction
heat of reaction
Define heat of reaction
the enthalpy change for a chemical reaction
Define entahlpy of reaction
the enthalpy change for a chemical reaction
The enthalpy of the reaction is a ____ property. This means it depends on…?
extensive
the amount of material undergoing the reaction.
Define enthalpy (H)
The sum of the internal energy of a system and the product of its pressure and volume; the energy associated with the breaking and forming of bonds in a chemical equation
Since internal energy, pressure, and volume are all state functions, enthaply is….?
also a state function
