M3 - Enthalpy changes Flashcards
What is the temperature change in an endothermic reaction?
A decrease in temperature
what’s the enthalpy change equation using enthalpy change of combustion values ?
= sum of reactants - sum of products
How do you find enthalpy changes using enthalpy change of formation values?
= sum of products - sum of reactants
how do you calculate the enthalpy changes from average bond enthalpies?
ΔH= sum of bonds broken - sum of bonds formed
What is Hess’ law?
If a reaction can take place by more than one route and the initial and final concentrations are the same, the total energy change is the same for each route.
What kind of enthalpy change is bond formation?
Exothermic as it releases energy
What are some properties of bond enthalpies?
Energy is always required to break bonds
Bond enthalpies are always endothermic
Bond enthalpies always have a positive enthalpy value
Define average bond enthalpy
The energy required to break one mole of covalent bonds in a gaseous molecule.
How can heat loss be accounted for using a graph of temperature against time?
Extrapolate the cooling curve back to when it was added.
What are the causes for less energy being transferred than expected when working out ΔHc?
Heat loss to the surroundings
Incomplete combustion
Evaporation
Non-standard conditions
what’s the enthalpy change equation using ‘average bond enthalpies’ ?
ΔrH=Σ(bond enthalpies of reactants) - Σ (bond enthalpies products)
Define standard enthalpy change of neutralisation
The enthalpy change that accompanies the reaction of an acid by a base to form one mole of H2O, under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states.
How is enthalpy change worked out from the energy change and change in temperature?
Q = mcΔT and then
ΔH = -Q/n
ΔH - enthalpy change (J/mol)
Q - energy change with surroundings (J)
n - number of moles (mol)
What is the equation used to measure an energy change?
Q=mcΔT
Q - energy change with surroundings (J)
m - mass (g)
c - specific heat capacity (J/g/K)
ΔT - change in temperature (K)
Define standard enthalpy change of combustion
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states.
