Energetics Flashcards
Define Enthalpy of Formation
The enthalpy change when ONE mole of a substance is produced from its elements under standard conditions in its standard state
Define Enthalpy of Combustion
The enthalpy change/ heat change at a constant pressure when ONE mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions in its standard state
What are the standard conditions?
100KPa and 298K
Equation for Calorimetry
q=mcΔ t
Equation for ΔH
ΔH= q/moles
Hess’s Law
Hess’s law states that total enthalpy change for a reaction is
independent of the route by which the chemical change takes place
Define the Mean Bond Enthalpy
The amount of energy required to break one mole of a specific covalent bond in its gaseous state
