chemical reaction Flashcards
what does (s) (L) (g) (aq) stand for when balancing equation?
s= solid L = liquid g = gas aq = aqueous solution
what is a aqueous solution?
where the solvent is water
what is a solvent?
a substance that dissolves a solute/ makes a most of the solution
what is a solute?
a minor part of the solution/ is dissolved by the the solvent
what are the phase changes and their name?
melting - liquids to solid vaporization - water to gas condensation - gas to liquid freezing - liquid to solid sublimation - solid to gas deposition - gas to solid
what is an exothermic reaction?
when heat is released / surroundings hotter after reaction
what is an endothermic reaction?
when heat is absorbed / surroundings colder after reaction
what are the heat formulas?
ΔH = H(products) – H(reactants)
= Σ(bonds broken) - Σ(bonds formed).
𝑄 = 𝑚cΔ𝑇
Δ E system = - Δ E surroundings
what is combustion?
a self sustaining chemical reaction occurs at temperatures above those of the surroundings. More simply, combustion is burning. and emits
h20 c02
what are the properties of a combustion reaction?
Light and heat have been emitted.
New substances have been formed (carbon dioxide and water).
The process cannot be easily reversed
if delta H is negative is it exo or endo thermic?
exothermic
what is bond enthalpy?
amount of energy required to break 1 mol of a bond
