Energetics Flashcards
Enthalpy change
Heat energy change at constant pressure
Standard conditions
100kPa and 298K
Standard enthalpy of combustion
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions
Standard enthalpy of formation
enthalpy change if 1 mole of compound in standard state were formed directly from its elements under standard conditions
Hess’s Law
enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route taken
Enthalpy of combustion equation
reactants - products
Enthalpy of formation equation
products - reactants
Equation for heat energy
q = mcΔT
How to get from q to ΔH
divide by 1000 then mols
Bond dissociation energy
enthalpy change to break the bond in 1mol of gaseous molecules to form gaseous atoms
Mean bond enthalpy
The Enthalpy Change needed to break 1mol of covanlent bonds averaged over a range of compounds
Enthalpy change equation
bonds broken - bonds formed (reactants-products)
