Q

What happens in a combustion reaction?

A

a fuel is used to heat up a known amount of water

17
Q

Why will the value of ∆H be less than a data book value?

A

heat loss to surroundings
incomplete combustion

18
Q

What is bond dissociation energy?

A

Enthalpy change to break the bond in 1 mol of gaseous molecules to form gaseous atoms

19
Q

What are bond enthalpies?

A

bonds that only appear in one molecule and values would be accurate
eg Cl-Cl

20
Q

What is a mean bond enthalpy?

A

enthalpy required to break 1 mol of covalent bonds averaged over a range of compounds

21
Q

Which bonds are mean enthalpy bonds?

A

bonds that appear in many molecules
bind enthalpy is different in in diff molecules
values are not 100% accurate

22
Q

What is the equation for enthalpy change of a reaction?

A

∆H = Σ bonds broken - Σ bonds formed
