Q

Definition for standard enthalpy change of reaction? 3 parts

A

The enthalpy change associated with a stated equation in the molar quantities shown in the chemical equation under standard conditions

17
Q

units for enthalpy change

A

kJ mol^-1

18
Q

Definition for standard enthalpy change of formation 2parts

A

The enthalpy change associated with the formation of one mole of a compound from its elements under standard conditions

19
Q

What is the enthalpy change of formation for an element

A

Zero

20
Q

Definition for standard enthalpy change of combustion

A

The enthalpy change associated with the complete combustion of one mole of a substance under standard conditions

21
Q

Definition for standard enthalpy change of neutralisation 3 parts

A

The enthalpy change associated with the formation of one mole of water from a naturalisation reaction between an acid and a base, under standard conditions

22
Q

What iss the value of the enthalpy change of neutralisation for the reaction between a strong acid and base

A

-57 km mol^-1

23
Q

Is standard enthalpy change of combustion always pos or neg, why?

A

Always neg bc combustion is an exothermic reaction

24
Q

Why is standard enthalpy change of neutralisation normaly the same value across different reactions?

A

Bc the same half equation is maintained: one mol of H+, one mol of OH- to form one mol oh H2O

25
Q

Subscript of standard enthalpy change of neutralisation

A

neut

26
Q

28
Q

subscript of standard enthalpy change of reaction

A

r

29
Q

symbol for heat energy (Not enthalpy)

A

q

30
Q

equation for calculating heat energy transferred between a system and its surroundings

A

q=mc delta T

31
Q

unit for specific heat capacity (c)

A

J g^-1 K^-1

32
Q

Unit for temp

A

Kelvin

33
Q

how can we more accurately calculate change in temp experimentally

A

with a cooling curve extrapolation

34
Q

Hiw do you produce a cooling curve extrapolation

A

Take temp of sol at short, regular intervals
Add other reactant to sol
Record temp of reaction mixture at regular intervals
Plot a cooling curve
Extrapolate the line of best fit and draw a line up from the x axis front he time the reactants were added to the sol
The crossing point of the 2 lines is the max temp

35
Q

what is the function of a cooling curve extrapolation

A

corrects for heat loss during the experiment
