Energetics Flashcards
What is the difference between and open and closed system?
An open system can exchange energy and matter with the surroundings. A closed system can exchange energy but not matter with the surroundings.
What is temperature?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules (K, kelvins)
What is heat?
Heat is the amount of energy exchanged due to a temperature difference between two substances (J, joules)
What is enthalpy
Enthalpy is the amount of energy or heat content of a substance. The energy is stored in chemical bonds. It incudes kinetic and potential energy and is not measured directly but changers are measured (J)
What is standard enthalpy change of reaction?
The difference between the enthalpy of the products and of the reactants at 298K and 1.00 x 10^5Pa
What is change in enthalpy? (Formula)
Enthalpy of products - enthalpy of reactants
What value of enthalpy do the most un-stable substance?
The higher the value of enthalpy, the less stable the substance
What are examples of exothermic reaction?
-Combustion reactions
-Neutralization reactions
Heat energy change (Q)
Q (J) = mass (g) x specific heat capacity(J g–1 K–1) x change in temp (K)
What are the standard conditions
for enthalpy changes
-100kPa
-1 mol/dm3 for all solutions
-all substances in there standard states
What is the standard state of a substance
The standard state of a substance is the pure form of the substance under standard conditions of 298 K (25 °C) and 1.00 × 10^5 Pa
What is the specific heat capacity of water?
4.18 J g–1 K–1
What is the standard enthalpy change of combustion?
The standard enthalpy change of combustion is the enthalpy change for the complete combustion of one mole of a substance in its standard state in excess oxygen under standard conditions
What are the 4 assumptions we need to make when calculating enthalpy?
1 no heat loss from the system
2 all the heat goes from the reaction to the water
3 the solution is dilute: V(CuSO4) = V(H2O)
4 water has a density of 1.00 g cm–
What is Hess’s law?
The enthalpy change for any chemical reaction is independent of the route, provided the starting conditions and final conditions, and reactants and products, are the same.
