Enthalpy Changes Flashcards
What is enthalpy?
A measure of the energy stored in a system
What is enthalpy change?
The heat energy exchange with its surroundings at constant pressure
What are the standard conditions?
Pressure of 100kPa
Temperature of 298k
Concentration of 1.0 moldm-3
What is standard state defined as?
The physical state of a substance under:
Pressure of 100kPa
Temperature of 298k
What is the standard enthalpy of reaction?
The enthalpy change accompanying a reaction in the molar quantities shown in a chemical equation
Under standard conditions with all substances in standard states
What is the standard enthalpy of formation?
The enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements
Under standard conditions with all substances in their standard states
Exothermic for ionic compounds
What is the standard enthalpy of formation of elements?
The enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of an element is formed from 1 mole of its elements
So there is no change
What is the standard enthalpy of combustion?
The enthalpy change taking place when 1 mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen
Under standard conditions with all substances in their standard states
What is standard enthalpy of neutralisation?
The enthalpy change accompanying the reaction of an acid and a base to form 1 mole of water
Under standard conditions with all substances in their standard states
How can enthalpy change be calculated?
Calculate heat change:
q = mcDT
Calculate molar value:
DcH* = q/n KJmol-1
What is lattice enthalpy
The energy required to form 1 mole of a solid ionic lattice from its gaseous ions under standard conditions
It’s exothermic as energy released when ionic bonds formed
What is standard enthalpy of atomisation
1 mole of gaseous atoms is formed from its element in standard state under standard conditions
Endothermic as binds broken
What is first ionisation energy
1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions formed from gaseous atoms
Endothermic as e- lost must overcome nuclear attraction
What is second ionisation energy
1 mole of gaseous 2+ ions formed from gaseous 1+ ions
Endothermic and e- lost much overcome nuclear attraction
What is first electron affinity
1 mole of gaseous 1- ions is formed from gaseous atoms
Exothermic as e- attracted to nucleus
