Q

Ways to improve accuracy of SHC calculation:

A

Use a lid on the calorimeter

17
Q

Which reactions have a negative enthalpy change (negative delta H)?

A

neutralisation, combustion

18
Q

Standard enthalpy change of formation

A

energy change when 1 mole of a substance is formed from its elements in their standard state

19
Q

Standard state

A

pure form of the substance at STP

20
Q

Standard enthalpy change of combustion

A

energy change when 1 mole of a substance is burnt at STP

21
Q

Enthalpy of formation of oxygen

A

zero

22
Q

Enthalpy change of a reaction =

A

enthalpy of formation of the products - enthalpy of formation of the reactants

23
Q

Lower energy means (more/less) stable

A

more

24
Q

Average bond enthalpy

A

the energy needed to break one mol of a bond in a gaseous molecule averaged over similar compounds

25
Q

Average bond enthalpy calculations

A

find the enthalpy for each compound, ones on the left are positive, ones on the right are negative, then sum up

26
Q

Why are ozone bonds easier to break than oxygen bonds?

A

Ozone has a resonance structure, so the bonds average out to 1.5, which makes it easier to break than O2, which has a double bond
