Periodic Table And Energy Flashcards
what is enthalpy change
the heat transferred in a reaction at constant pressure
what is an exothermic reaction
releases energy into the surroundings
negative enthalpy change
what is an endothermic reaction
absorbs energy from the surroundings
enthalpy change is positive
what is activation energy
the minimum amount of energy needed to begin breaking reactant bonds and start a chemical reaction
what are the standard conditions
298K
100kPa
what is standard enthalpy change of reaction
the enthalpy change when the reaction occurs in the molar quantities shown in the chemical reaction, under standard conditions
what is standard enthalpy change of formation
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states, under standard conditions
what is standard enthalpy change of combustion
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen, under standard conditions
what is standard enthalpy change of neutralisation
the enthalpy change when an acid and an alkali react together, under standard conditions, to form 1 mole of water
is energy released or absorbed in bond forming
released, so is exothermic
is energy released or absorbed in bond breaking
absorbed, so is endothermic
whatis q=mc^T
q=heat lost or gained
m=mass of water
c=specific heat capacity- 4.18
^T= change in temperature
what are the rules of hess’s law
route 1=route 2
enthalpy change of reaction + sum of enthalpy change of formation (reactants)= sum of enthalpy change of formation (products)
enthalpy change of reaction= sum of enthalpy change reaction of products- sum of enthalpy chnage of reaction for reactants
formula for enthalpy chnage of reaction
total energy absorbed- total energy released
what conditions should there be in order for a reaction to takeplace (collision theory)
particles must collide in the right direction
must have the minmum activation energy
why does a boltzmann distribution curve start at 0,0
as no particles have no energy
where does increasing the temperature shift the boltzmann distribution curve to
-to the right
-more molecules have at least the activation energy
-total number of particles is the same so area under the graph is the same
how does increasing concentration affect the reaction?
-increasing concentration means more particles so particles are closer together
-theyll collide more frequently
-more collisions= more chances to react
how does increasing the pressure speed up the reaction
-particles are closer together, increasing the chance of successful collisions
how does a catalyst increase rate of reaction
lowers the activation energy
more partciles will have enough energy to react
what is a catalyst
a compound that increases the rate of reaction by providing an alternative parthway with a lower activation energy
catalyst is chemically unchanged
what is a heterogenous catalyst
one that is in a different state from the reactants
the reaction happens on the surface of the heterogenous catalyst so increasing the surface area of the catalyst increases the amount of molecules that can react at the same time, increasing the rate of reaction
what is a homogenous catatlyst
one that is in the same physical state as the reactants
works by forming intermediate species, reactants combine with the catalyst to make an intermediate species which then reacts to form the products and reform the catalyst
what is the formula for rate of reaction
rate of reaction= amount of reactant used or product formed/ time
