DF1 + DF2 Flashcards
exothermic reactions
enthalpy change is -ve
reactants have more energy than products
more energy is released in making bonds than is used in breaking bonds
energy transferred to surroundings
endothermic reactions
enthalpy change is +ve
products have more energy than reactants
more energy required to break bonds than is released from breaking bonds
energy taken in from surroundings
standard conditions
298K (25 celcius)
1moldm-3 solutions
1atm pressure
standard enthalpy change of combustion
enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is burnt completely in oxygen under standard conditions
standard enthalpy change of reaction
enthalpy change when molar quantities of reactants react together unde rstandard conditions
standard enthalpy change of formation
enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is formed from its elements under standard conditions
standard enthalpy change of neutalisation
enthalpy change when one mole H+ reacts with one mole of OH- and one mole of water is formed
Hess’ law
the enthalpy change of a reaction is idependent of the intermediate stages provide the initial and final conditions are the same for each route
