enphalpy Flashcards
what is thermochemistry
thermochemistry is the study of heat changes during a chemical reaction
what happens when bonds are formed
energy is released when bonds are formed in the reactants.
what is the definition for an exothermic reaction
an exothermic reaction releases heat energy to the surroundings . the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is less than the energy released when the bonds in the products are formed (temp will increase )(energy change is negative) eg combustion
what is the definition for an endothermic reaction
an endothermic reaction takes in heat energy from the surroundings . the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when the bonds in the products are formed.(temp will decrease) (energy change is positive)
what are some examples of exo reactions
combustion , respiration , freezing , rusting , fission , neutralisation
what are some examples of endo reactions
evaporation , photosynthesis , ionisation , thermal composition
what is enthalpy change
enthalpy change is the heat energy change measured under conditions of constant pressure. it is usually measured in kilojoules per mol KJmol-1
what are the standard conditions of enphalpy changes
a pressure of 100kpa
a temperature of 298k
for chemicals in solution concentration of 1moldm-3
all chemicals must be in their standard states
how do you calculate the heat change
q = mc(delta t)
where q= the heat change measured in joules
m is the mass of the substance being heated (in grams)
c= the heat capactity of the substance being heated (JK-1g-1)
delta h= the temp change of the substance being heated ( temp change in kelvin )
how do you calculate the enphalpy change of a reaction
delta h = q/ n x 1000
where delta h is the enphalpy change in kilojoules per mol KJmol-1
n is the number of moles reacted of the limiting raegent in the reaction
what is the definition for the enphalpy change of combustion
the enphalpy change when one mol of substance is completely burnt in oxygen under standard conditions , all products and reactants being in their standard state
what is the definition for the enphalpy of formation
is the enphalpy change when one mol of compound is formed from its constituent elements under standard conditions , all products and reactants being in their standard state
what is the definition for the standard molar enphalpy of reaction
is the enphalpy change associated with a stated reaction under standard conditions , all products and reactants being in their standard state
what is the definition for the enphalpy of neutralisation
is the enphalpy change when 1 mol of water is formed from a neutralisation reaction under standard conditions , all products and reactants being in their standard state
what is the formula for chloroethane
