Enthalpy Change Flashcards
What is enthalpy
H : Is a messure of hear energy in a chemcial system. (the chemical system refures to the atoms, moleculee, or ions makeing up the chemicals
How to calucalte enthalpy change
∆H = H(products) - H(reactants)
What is conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Brakeing bonds =
Makeing bonds =
Brakeing = endothermic
Makeing = exothermic
Directions of energy transfer: exothermic
∆H is negetive
Chemical system loses energy
Surroundings gain energy
Tempreture of surroundings increase
Directions of energy transfer: endothermic
∆H is posistive
Chemical systems gain energy
Surroundings lose energy
Tempreture of surroundings decreases
In a reaction profile graph, explain possition of products n reactants in exo and endo
Exo: reactants above products
Endo: reactants below products
