Energetics Flashcards
2 types of reaction
Endothermic
Exothermic
Enthalpy change
Heat energy change measured under conditions of constant pressure
standard enthalpy change symbol
ΔH°
What are standard conditions for standard enthalpy changes
100kPa
And a stated temp eg 298 Kelvin
Enthalpy of formation
ΔfH is the enthalpy change when one mole of compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states under standard conditions (298K and 100 kPa).
enthalpy of combustion
ΔcH is the enthalpy change when one mole of substance in its standard state is burnt in excess oxygen under standard conditions.
Exothermic definition
Heat energy given out
Reactants have more energy than products
🔼H = neg
Endothermic def
Heat given in
Reactants have less energy
🔼H = positive
Enthalpy change units
Kj/mol
Kjmol^-1
Axis of Enthalpy change diagrams
X axis = progress of reaction
Y axis = energy
Activation energy on a energy profile graph
From highest point to reactants
Making bonds is …
Exothermic
Releases energy
-ve 🔼H
Breaking bonds is …
Endothermic
Req energy
🔼H = positive
Whne is a reaction exothermic
When energy rel from bond making is greater than energy taken in from bond breaking
calorimetry equation
q = m x c x ΔT
