Enthalpy changes Flashcards
What are the standard conditions
pressure =1atm
Temperature =25c or 298K
What is the standard enthalpy change of neutralisation
the enthalpy change that occurs when solutions of an acid and an alkali react together to form 1 mole of water under standard conditions
What is the enthalpy change of formation
The enthalpy change that occurs when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in standard states
what is the enthalpy change of combustion
the enthalpy change that occurs when 1 mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions
what is the enthalpy change of reaction
enthalpy change that occurs when a reaction occurs in the molar quantities shown in the chemical equation under standard conditions
what is the overall enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction
negative
products end up with less energy than the reactants
what is the overall enthalpy change of an endothermic reaction
positive
products end up with more energy than the reactants
what is the activation energy
the minimum energy needed to begin a reaction by breaking reactant bonds
what is the overall enthalpy of breaking bonds
endothermic , so positive
what is the overall enthalpy of making bonds
exothermic delta h negative
how do you calculate the total enthalpy change of reaction
total energy absorbed - total energy released
