Question 23

When energy is
exchanged between
the system and the
surroundings, it is
exchanged as either
heat (q) or work (w).

Answer 23

ΔE = q + w

Question 24

Sign conventions for q

Answer 24

+q = system gains heat
-q = system loses heat

Sign conventions for ΔE

Answer 26

+ΔE = net gain of energy by system
-ΔE = net loss of energy by system

surroundings

Answer 28

exothermic

Question 29

internal energy of a system

Is a state function (ΔE depends only on Einitial and Efinal)

Question 30

q(heat) and w(work)

Answer 30

Is not a state function

Question 31

the mechanical
work associated
with a change in
volume of gas

Answer 31

the only
work done by
chemical or
physical change

Question 32

measure the work done by the gas if the
reaction is done in a vessel that has been fitted with a piston. work is NEGATIVE because it is work done
BY the system

Answer 32

w = −PΔV

Question 33

the internal energy plus the
product of pressure and volume

Answer 33

Enthalpy

Question 34

When the system changes at constant
pressure, the change in enthalpy, ΔH, is

Answer 34

ΔH = ΔE + PΔV to
Since ΔE = q + w and w = −PΔV, we
can substitute these into the enthalpy
expression:
ΔH = ΔE + PΔV
ΔH = (q + w) − w
ΔH = q

Question 35

at constant pressure, the change in
enthalpy is

Answer 35

the heat gained or lost

Question 36

ΔH is
positive

Answer 36

process is
endothermic

Question 37

ΔH is negative

Answer 37

process is
exothermic

Question 38

is the
enthalpy of the
products minus the
enthalpy of the
reactants

Answer 38

The change in
enthalpy, ΔH

Question 39

ΔHrxn

Answer 39

enthalpy of
reaction, or the heat of reaction

Question 40

The Truth about Enthalpy of reaction

Answer 40

1. Enthalpy of reaction is an extensive property.
2. The enthalpy change for a reaction is
   equal in magnitude, but opposite in
   sign, to ΔH for the reverse reaction.
3. The enthalpy change for a reaction
   depends on the states of the reactants
   and the products.

Question 60

calculate ΔH for the reaction

Answer 60

qsoln = Cs × msoln × ΔT = –qrxn

Question 61

1. Reactions can be carried
   out in a sealed “bomb”
2. Because the volume in the
   bomb calorimeter is
   constant, what is measured
   is really the change in
   internal energy, ΔE, not ΔH.

The heat absorbed (or
released) by the water is
a very good approximation
of the enthalpy change for
