Chemistry 112 final Flashcards
enthalpy
the amount of heat transferred to a system during constant pressure and expansion work
endothermic
heat added to the system
exothermic
heat removed from the system (heat goes to the surroundings)
approximations of the ideal gas law
intermolecular interactions between gas particles are negligible and volume of gas particles are negligible
When does the ideal gas law break down?
at low temperature when intermolecular forces become more important and high pressure when the volume of the gas particles become more important
lattice enthalpy
the energy difference between the ions in a gas and in solid, and is due to the electrostatic interactions between ions
polar covalent bonds
electrons are unequally shared
non-polar covalent bonds
electrons are equally shared
ionic bonds
electrons are transferred
