Chl. 6/ Energy Rates And Equimirbirum Flashcards
What is energy?
The capacity to do work.
What is potential energy?
Potential energy is stored energy.
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy from motion.
What is the Law of conservation of energy?
It statuses that the total energy in a system does not change.
(Energy cannot be created or destroyed)
What do chemical bonds do?
Chemical bonds store potential energy.
Reactions that form products having……… than the reactants are favored?
Lower potential energy.
What does 1 calorie equate to in joules ?
1 cal= 4.184 J
What are the larger units of calories and joules?
Kilojoules (KJ) and Kilocalories (kcal)
1,000 J = ? kJ?
1,000 J = 1 KJ
1,000 cal = ? kcal
1,000 cal = 1 kcal
1 kcal = ? kJ
1 Kcal = 4.184 kJ
When calories come together and react, bonds are 1. (broken/formed in the reactants and new bonds are 2. (broken/ formed) in the products.
- Broken
- Formed
- What does bond breaking always require?
- What does bond formation always release?
- Input of energy
- Release energy
What does it mean to cleave a bond?
To cleave a bond means to separate or break it apart.
What does ΔH stand for?
ΔH is the energy absorbed or released in a reaction. Its is called the heat of reaction or the enthalpy change.
What does the Heat of Reaction mean?
- The heat of reaction, represented by ΔH, specifically refers to the heat energy released or absorbed during a chemical reaction at constant pressure.
- It indicates the amount of heat transferred between the system (the chemical reaction) and its surroundings.
What is Enthalpy change?
- Enthalpy change, also represented by ΔH, encompasses not only the heat of reaction but also any changes in the internal energy of the system and the work done on or by the system. It includes changes in heat content and the expansion or compression work done during the reaction.
In summary, while the heat of reaction is a specific subset of the enthalpy change, enthalpy change includes all energy changes that occur during a reaction, making it a broader concept.
What is an Endothermic reaction?
When energy is absorbed, the reaction is said to be endothermic and ΔH is positive (+)
What is an exothermic reaction?
When energy is released, the reaction is said to be exothermic and ΔH is negative (-).
What is bond dissociation energy ?
(Bind energy)
The bond dissociation energy is ΔH for breaking a covalent bond by equally dividing the e- between the two atoms.
Are bond dissociation energies, positive positive or negative values?
Bond dissociation energies are positive values, because bond breaking is endothermic. (ΔH>0)
