ENTHALPY Flashcards
is the reaction with oxygen to produce small molecules such as CO2 and H2O
Combustion
liquid to solid
freezing
gas to liquid
condensation
gas to solid
deposition
Exothermic Processes
Combustion
Phase Changes: Freezing, Condensation, Deposition
Dissolution
Bond Formation
Electron Gain
two unstable atoms may form a stable molecule
Bond Formation
some ionic compounds that dissociate into ions in water release energy
Dissolution
electron affinity is the energy released when a gaseous atom accepts an electron
Electron Gain
these processes are accompanied by lowering of the temperature (cooling) of the surroundings
Endothermic Process
this can sometimes be endothermic
Dissolution
Endothermic Process
- Phase Changes: Fusion, Vaporization, Sublimation
- Bond Dissociation
- Ionization
solid to liquid
fusion
liquid to gas
vaporization
solid to gas
sublimation
is the energy needed to break a bond joining two atoms
bind dissociation energy
is the energy needed to remove an electron from a gaseous atom
Ionization Energy
are process that release heat to surroundings
Exothermic processes
are processes that absorb heat from the surroundings
