Q

energy level diagrams indicate…

A

if a reaction is endothermic or exothermic

17
Q

endothermic energy level diagram…

A

reactants below products

18
Q

exothermic energy level diagram…

A

reactants above products

19
Q

in endothermic reactions, more energy is needed to…

A

break bonds than make new ones, therefore overall enthalpy change is positive, and heat is taken in from the surroundings

20
Q

in exothermic reactions, more energy is needed to…

A

make new bonds than break existing ones, therefore overall enthalpy change is negative, and heat is given out to the surroundings

21
Q

energy change equation…

A

q=mc🔺T
(q= energy change (J), m= mass (g), c= specific heat capacity (J g-1 .C-1, 🔺T= temperature change(C))

22
Q

using q=mc🔺T, enthalpy change per mole of a substance can be calculated- equation…

A

🔺H = q/moles

23
Q

sources of error with 🔺H values…

A
  • heat loss due to conduction, convection or inaccuracies in measuring temperatures.
  • the specific heat capacity is taken to be 4.18 which is the value for water, and not the actual solution. the SHC of the calorimeter isn’t taken into account so this leads to inaccuracies in the calculation
24
Q

heat loss to the surroundings can be reduced by…

A
  • putting a lid on the calorimeter
  • insulating the outsides of the calorimeter using an insulator like polystyrene
25
Q

enthalpy of formation arrows

A

follow products

26
Q

enthalpy of combustion arrows

A

27
Q

bonds with lower bond enthalpy are expected to…

A

28
Q

if a reaction is endothermic overall, then it is likely that the reaction will…

A

29
Q

mean bond enthalpy values can be used to calculate the…

A

overall enthalpy change for a reaction

30
Q

overall bond enthalpy change equation…

A

🔺rH= bond breaking-bond forming

31
Q

Hess’s Law

A

the enthalpy change of any reaction is independent of the path taken
