Developing Fuels Flashcards
What is the ideal gas equation?
pV=nRT
Pressure x volume = moles x 8.314 x temp K
Pa x m^3 = moles x J/K/mol x K
What volume of gas does 1 mole of a substance take up?
24dm^3 at room temp and pressure
How do you convert cm^3 to dm^3
divide by 1000
How do you convert dm^3 to m^3
divide by 1000
In the ideal gas equation what is volume measured in?
m^3
In the ideal gas equation what is temperature measured in?
Kelvin
How do you convert Celsius to Kelvin
Add 273
What can you use to measure gas produced by a reaction?
A gas syringe
In chemistry what is room temperature and pressure?
298 K (25 Celcius) 100KPa
Whats the equation for volume of gas at RTP
Moles = (volume in dm^3) / 24
What causes a change in enthalpy in a reaction?
bonds being made and broken
What are the standard conditions
298K and 100KPa
What are the four main stages of heterogeneous catalysis
Stage 1: adsorption to catalyst
Stage 2: reactants bonds break
Stage 3: New bonds made
Stage 4: Loss of product from catalyst surface
When calculating enthalpy changes do you pay attention to moles in the reaction
Yes - times by average bond enthalpy
What is standard enthalpy change of reaction?
Enthalpy change when reaction occurs in the molar quantities shown in chemical reaction
under standard conditions
What is the standard enthalpy change of formation?
enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in standard states under standard conditions
What is standard enthalpy change of combustion
enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burnt in oxygen under standard conditions
