ENERGETICS Flashcards
what is enthalpy
heat energy change in a reaction uder standard conditions
what are the standard conditions ?
298K
100kPa
what are the two types of reactions?
endothermic
exotheermic
what is an endothermic reaction?
when energy is absorbed from the surroundings
where is the position iif the products in an endothermic reaction
at thee top
what is an exothermic reaction?
when energy is released to the surroundings
what happens to the suroundings during an exothermic reaction?
it gets warmer
where is the position of the products in an exothermic reaction
its lower
what type of reaction is a bond breaking one?
endotheermic
why is it an endothermic reaction when bonds are madde
heat is absorbedd
what type of a reaction is bond making
exothermic
why is it an exothermic reaction when bonds are broken
energy is releeased
what is an example of an exothermic reaction?
combustion
what is standard enthalpy of formation
enthaphy change required to forrm 1 mole of a compound from its constituent elements under standard conditions
298K
100kPA
what is standard enthalpy of combustion
the enthalphy change required to completely burn 1 mole of a compound in excess oxygen under standard conditions
298K
100kPA
