DN 4). Enthalpy Flashcards
q=
mcΔT
q means and units
enthalpy change in Joules
m means and units
mass of substance in grams
c means and units
specific heat capacity Jg^(-1)K^(-1)
ΔT means and units
temperature change in ???? NOT SURE
specific heat capacity
the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1g of substance by 1K
enthalpy change defintion
change in heat content at a constant pressure
enthalpy definition
heat content of a substance
Exothermic reaction
- A+B = C+D which has the greater enthalpy (A+B) or (C+D)
A+B
Exothermic reaction
- the enthalpy change is…..
negative
Exothermic reaction
- the temperature…..
increases
Exothermic reaction
- what happens during the reaction
heat is lost to the surroundings
Exothermic reaction
- what does the graph look like
reactants | | ΔH = NEGATIVE | products
Exothermic reaction
- two examples
oxidation of fuels
respiration
Endothermic reaction
- A+B = C+D which has the greater enthalpy (A+B) or (C+D)
(C+D)
