what are exothermic reactions
reactions that give out heat as the reactants change to products so the temp changes
what are endothermic reactions
reactions that take in heat as reactants change to products so the temp drops
what is enthalpy change
heat energy change measured under a constant pressure
what are standard conditions
100KPa
298K
what is the standard state of an element
physical state under standard conditions
what is the definition of standard enthalpy change of combustion
the enthalpy change when one mole of substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states
what does standard enthalpy change refer to
heat change measured at 100KPa and 298K
what is the definition of standard enthalpy change of formation
the enthalpy change when one mole of substance is formed from its elements under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states
what equation would you use to calculate the heat change for a reaction
Q=Mc > T
what is Hess’s Law
the enthalpy change for a reaction is the same, whatever route is taken from reactants to products
how is an enthalpy change different from a heat change
an enthalpy change is an energy change measured under a stated temp and constant stated pressure
what is the unit of energy
Joules
what is the most stable form of Carbon, and what state symbol is it given
Graphite (s)
what value is given to deltaH of elements
zero, no energy is needed to form an element from its element
why will the value calculated for an enthalpy change be different using mean bond enthalpies compared to thermochemical cycles
mean bond enthalpies are averages, and the true value will differ. thermochemical cycle is ‘correct’ answer
