Midterm review- Kinetics/Energetics Flashcards
Exothermic Reaction: Chemicals gain or lose enthalpy
Lose enthalpy
Exothermic: Heat energy lost or gained?
Lost
Exothermic: Surrounding temperature?
Hotter
Exothermic: Delta H?
Negative
Exothermic: Reactants or Products?
H of reactants > H of products
Endothermic: Gain or lose enthalpy?
Gain
Endothermic: Heat energy lost of gained?
Gained
Endothermic: surrounding temperature?
Colder
Endothermic: Delta H?
Positive
Endothermic: Reactants or Products?
H of products > H of reactants
Spontaneous Reactions
Occur without heating when mixing reagents
Enthalpy (H)
energy contained in chemical bonds that can be converted into heat
Factors affecting enthalpy
value of deltaH, concentration of reactants, states of reactants and products, temperature of reactions, pressure of reaction
Ways to find enthalpy change
Hess’s law, bond enthalpies, and delta Hs of formations
Bond enthalpies
(Sum of BEs of reactants) minus (Sum of BEs of products)
