Standard conditions
100kPa, 298K
Enthalpy change
Heat energy change at constant pressure
Positive enthalpy change means the reaction is …
Endothermic
Negative enthalpy change means the reaction is …
Exothermic
Endothermic reaction
Reaction where heat is taken in
positive enthalpy change
Exothermic reaction
Reaction where heat is given out
negative enthalpy change
Standard enthalpy change of reaction
Enthalpy change for the smallest whole number ratio of a reaction at standard states and conditions
Standard enthalpy change of formation
Enthalpy change to form 1 mole of a compound out of its elements at standard states and conditions
Standard enthalpy change of combustion
Enthalpy change to combust 1 mole of a fuel at standard states and conditions
Standard enthalpy change of neutralisation
Enthalpy change to form 1 mole of water from a neutralisation reaction at standard states and conditions
Energy transferred to / from a material
Energy = mass*specific heat capacity*temp change (E = mcΔT)
Hess law
Enthalpy change depends on the chemicals, not the reactions
Bond enthalpy
Energy needed to break 1 mole of a bond in the gas state
Mean bond enthalpy
Energy needed to break 1 mole of a type of bond in the gas state, averaged over many compounds
