Q

Define the standard enthalpy change of combustion

A

Enthalpy change takes place when one mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen, understand the standard conditions, all of the reactants and products in standard state

17
Q

Define bond dissociation enthalpy (🔺Hd^ø)

A

Enthalpy change that takes place when breaking, by homily’s is fission, 1 mol of a given bond in the molecules of gaseous species

18
Q

Define homolytic fission

A
  • same number of electrons on either atom
  • covalent bond
  • endothermic
19
Q

Overall enthalpy change = ………………………………

A

Bond broken - bonds formed

20
Q

Define average bond enthalpy

A

Enthalpy change when one mole of bond of gaseous bond is broken

21
Q

Why may the data book value of enthalpy bond be different from enthalpy bond calculated?

A

Bond enthalpy are averages of bond energies in a variety of compounds

22
Q

Define Hess’ Law

A

If a reaction can take place by more than one route and the initial and final concentration are the same, the total energy change is the same for each route

23
Q

Define enthalpy cycle

A

Allows indirect determination of enthalpy change from other enthalpy changes using Hess’ law

24
Q

Calculation using enthalpy cycle

A

Route 1 = route 2

🔺H1 = 🔺H2 + 🔺H3

25
Q

Define enthalpy changes of combustion

A

Enthalpy change takes place when one mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions

26
Q

State why the standard enthalpy of formation for hydrogen gas is zero

A

It is an element

27
Q

Define enthalpy change of formation

A

enthalpy change takes place when one mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in standard states

28
Q

Suggest two reasons why endothermic reaction needs heating to a higher temperature

A
  • to overcome activational energy

* higher temperature is needed to break the bonds

29
Q

Define enthalpy change of neutralisation

A

Energy change that accompanies the reaction of an acid by a base to form one mole of water, under standard conditions

30
Q

Give two examples of exothermic reactions

A

Combustion

Oxidation, e.g. of carbohydrates

31
