Q

Is bond formation exo or endo?

A

Bond formation is exothermic

17
Q

What is Hess’s law

A

The enthalpy change at constant pressure is independent of the route taken

18
Q

What is enthalpy change of formation

A

When 1mol of a substance is formed from its elements with all reactants and products & in their standard states, under standard conditions

19
Q

What is standard enthalpy of combustion

A

Enthalpy change when 1mol of a substance is burned completely in oxygen, with all reactants and products & in their standard states, under standard conditions

20
Q

What is mean bond enthalpy

A

Enthalpy required to break a covalent bond averaged over a range of different molecules

21
Q

Which factor must stay the same in a formation reaction

A

We cannot change the moles of the product, it must always be 1

22
Q

Which factor must stay the same in a combustion reaction

A

We cannot change the moles of the reactant undergoing combustion, it must always be 1

23
Q

What is the equation for heat energy

A

q = mc∆T

24
Q

What is the equation for enthalpy change

A

∆H = q/n (q is energy, n is moles)
