enthalpy changes Flashcards
what is enthalpy
measure of the heat energy in a chemical system or energy stored within bonds
what is activation energy
energy input required to break bonds, minimum energy required for a reaction to take place
what is the standard pressure
100kPa
what is standard temperature
stated or 298K (25°C)
what is the standard concentration
1mol/dm³
what is the standard enthalpy change of reaction
enthalpy change of a reaction in the molar quantities shown in an equation under standard conditions and all reactants and products in standard states
what is enthalpy change of formation
enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions
what is enthalpy change of combustion
1 mole of substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions
what is enthalpy change of neutralisation
reaction of an acid by a base to form 1 mole of H2O under standard conditions
what is energy change of surroundings calculated from
mass, specific heat capacity, temperature change
what is the specific heat capacity of water
4.18J/g/K
what is the equation for energy change
q = mc × temp change
what is average bond enthalpy
energy required to break 1 mole of a specified type of bond in a gaseous molecule
is bond breaking endothermic or exothermic
endothermic, energy is required to break bonds
is bond making endothermic or exothermic
exothermic, energy is released when bonds form
