Test 2 Flashcards
What energy change occurs in enthalpy
Kinetic energy increases with increasing temperature
Potential energy decreases with increasing bond strength
What happens to enthalpy in a reaction
During a chemical reaction, bond are broken and new bonds form, so there will be a change in the amount of stored potential energy
What is the enthalpy of a substance
The enthalpy of a substance is the total energy present.
Includes potential and kinetic
What is conversion of energy
During a chemical reaction the total amount if energy must remain constant.
It may be transformed from one form to another.
If potential energy decreases kinetic energy must increase.
Raises temperature and allows heat to flow out of the system.
What are Exothermic reactions
Release heat into the surroundings.
Potential energy in the bonds is lower so potential energy is converted into kinetic and is released from the system
What is endothermic reactions
Absorbs heat
Heat energy flows into the system as kinetic energy is converted into potential energy in the bonds of the substances
What is a heat reaction of enthalpy
ALSO KNOWN AS ENTHALPY CHANGE
The amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction
This is known as the enthalpy change of the reaction when it is conducted at constant pressure (lab conditions)
What is the symbol for enthalpy change
(Delta) H
How is change in enthalpy measured?
Can be determined by measurement of the temperature change that accompanies a chemical reaction
(Delta)H = enthalpy of product- enthalpy of reaction
How can we tell the Enthalpy of an Exothermic reaction is
(Delta)H negative
H of product
Heat emitted into the surroundings
Temperature of surroundings increase
How can we tell what the Enthalpy of an endothermic reaction is
(Delta)H positive
H of product > H of reactant
Heat absorbed from surroundings
Temperature of surroundings decreases
The (delta)H value of a reaction is shown by
H2(g) + Cl2(g) –> 2HCl(g) ; H= -184 kJ
What are thermochemical equations
balanced stoichiometric chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change, ΔH.
In variable form, a thermochemical equation would look like this:
A + B → C
ΔH = (±) #
Where {A, B, C} are the usual agents of a chemical equation with coefficients and “(±) #” is a positive or negative numerical value, usually with units of kJ.
What are chemical changes
Those in which new substances with different composition and properties are formed
What are physical changes
Occurs without altering the chemical composition of a substance
What happens in a chemical reaction
A chemical change occurs and new substances are formed.
Reactants: substances that are combined together in the chemical reaction
Products: the new substance formed
Atoms of reactant are rearranged to form product
What happens to bonds in chemical reaction
Bonds between atoms are disrupted and new bonds are formed
What are common signs of reaction
Colour change Formation of a solid Production of odour Significant change in temperature Production of gas
What is the Law of conservation of mass
Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical a reaction
Mass of the reactant will be the same as the mass of the product
Balanced equations of Chemical equations
Because atoms are neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction the equation must be balanced
Therefore the number of atoms of each type must be the same on both sides of the arrow
How is the state of a reactant or product indicated
(s) - solid
(l) - liquid
(g) - gas
(aq) - in aqueous solution
Ionic equations sometimes written instead of molecular equations for reactions involving ions
Only ions involved in the reaction are shown (others are spectator ions and are not included)
Must be balanced in both atoms and charge
What is a precipitation reaction
Occurs when ions in solution combine to form a new compound that is insoluble in water.
Insoluble substance formed is a precipitate
