24
Q

Describe steps to carry out dissolving / displacement / neutralisation calorimetry

A
  1. Using a measuring cylinder pour a known volume of a known concentration of acid into an insulated vessel
  2. Measure temp of acid before adding the alkali
  3. Using a measuring cylinder add a known volume of a known concentration of alkali to the acid
  4. Stir
  5. Record highest temp reached
  6. Calculations: q=mcAT, mols of acid/alkali ( one which is not in excess ) , delta H
25
Q

A
  1. Using a measuring cylinder pour a known volume of water into copper calorimeter
  2. Weigh spirit burner before lighting
  3. Measure temp of water before lighting
  4. Light the wick to heat the water & stir
  5. Extinguish burner & record temp of water after heating
  6. Reweigh the spirit burner
  7. Calculations:q=mcAT,mols fuel burnt, delta H
26
Q

Define average bond enthalpy ( 2 marker )

A
  • av. enthalpy change when 1 mole of bonds

- of gaseous covalent bonds is broken

27
Q

BENDO MEX

A
  • Breaking bonds is endothermic

- Making bonds is exothermic

28
Q

Energy change= ???

A

Break - Make

( Reactants - Products )

( energy needed to break bonds - energy released making bonds )

29
Q

Sign for EXOthermic reaction

A

-ve

30
Q

Sign for ENDOthermic reaction

A

+ve

31
Q

Explain what happens in an EXOthermic reaction

A

More energy is released making bonds than is needed to break bonds

( heat energy given out = increase temp)

32
Q

Explain what happens in an ENDOthermic reaction

A

More energy is needed to break bonds than is released making bonds

( heat energy taken in = decrease temp)

33
Q

Why are many bond enthalpies describes as averages

A

They are averaged out over different compounds containing the same bond
