energetics Flashcards
what are the standard conditions?
298K, 1 bar and 1moldm^-3
what is the enthalpy change of reaction?
it is the energy change of a given stoichiometric equation at the given temperature and pressure
what is the standard enthalpy change of formation?
it is the energy change when one mole of a substance is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states at 298K and 1 bar
what is the standard enthalpy change of combustion?
it is the energy that evolved when one mole of a substance is burnt completely in excess oxygen at 298K and 1 bar.
what is the standard enthalpy change of neutralisation?
it is the energy evolved when one mole of water is formed in the reaction between an acid and an alkali at 298K and 1 bar
what is the standard enthalpy change of atomisation?
it is the energy absorbed when one mole of gaseous atoms is formed from the element at its standard state at 298K and 1 bar.
what is bond energy?
it is the average energy absorbed when one mole of a given covalent bond in a gaseous compound is broken into gaseous atoms
what is lattice energy?
it is the energy evolved when one mole of an ionic solid is formed from its constituent gaseous ions
what is the standard enthalpy change of hydration?
it is the energy that evolved when one mole of gaseous ions is converted to one mole of aqueous ions at infinite dilution at 298K and 1 bar.
what is the standard enthalpy change of solution?
it is the energy change when one mole of a substance is completely dissolved in infinite dilution in an aqueous solution at 298K and 1 bar
what is the first electron affinity?
it is the energy change when one mole of gaseous atoms of an element gain one mole of electrons to form one more of singly charged negative gaseous ions.
to determine heat change of a reaction conducted in the calorimeter…
we use the equation q = mc(del)T
what are the assumptions applied to determine heat change of a reaction?
- there is no heat lost to the surroundings
- the heat capacity of the solution is approx. to that of water and has a value of 4.18Jg^-1K^-1
- the density of the solution is approx. to that of water and has a value of 1gcm^-3
the enthalpy change of a reaction can be determined using…
q/n
what is hess’ law?
it states that the enthalpy change for a reaction is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps and is determined by the initial and final states of the system
