Q

An experiment to measure SHC

A

Calorimetry

17
Q

Process of finding enthalpy change using Q=Mdelta T

A

Find Q by subbing
find amount in moles that was reacted
Divide by 1 to work out KJ/mol

18
Q

Two theoretical methods of calculating enthalpy

A

Mean bond dissociation

Enthalpy cyccle

19
Q

Describe the experimental method to determine the enthalpy change of combustion for a fuel

A

Burn a known mass of a substance in air
Heat up a n=know mass of water
measure temperature change in water

20
Q

WHy is there a difference between the the experimental value and the standard value

A

Incomplete combustion

Heat may be lost to surroundings

21
Q

To get a better agreement of an experiemental enthalpy change what can you do

A

Cut down on heat loss

Ensure complete combustion

22
Q

How is a bomb calorimeter a better way of measuring

A

Ensures fuel burns in complete combustion

Heat is transferred to water…welll insulated… reduces heat loss to surroundings

23
Q

;Bond enthalpy defintion

A

The enthalpy change that takes place when breakind by HOMOLYTIC FISSION 1 mol of a given bond in the molecules of a GASEOUS SPECIES

24
Q

Average bond enthalpy

A

The avverage enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a given bond is broken by HOMOLYTIC FISSION
IN THE MOLECULES OF A GASEOUS SPECIES

25
Q

When is bond enthalpies endo and exothermic

A

Endothermic when bonds are BROKEN
Exothermic when bonds are MADE
MEXICAN BENDER

26
Q

EQUATION TO MEASURE DELTA H USING BOND ENTHALPIES

A

BOnds broken- bonds made

27
Q

Hess’s law

A

If a reaction takes place by more than one route and the
intiial and final conditions are the same
the total energy change is the same for each route

28
Q

Enthalpy cycle defintion

A

Diagram showing alternative routes between reactants and products
allows indirect determination of EC
from other ECs using Hess’s law
