thermochemical equation Flashcards
what are the conditions of a thermochemical equation?
1- it must be balanced
2- the physical state of the reactants and products must be written
3- there should be a positive or negative sign before the delta H
4- when multiplying or dividing the coefficients of the two sides of the equation with certain numerical coefficients the same must be applied to delta H
5- when the process is inversed the sign of delta H must be inversed
give reason: we can write the coefficients of the balanced equation as fractions?
because the coefficients represents the number of moles of the reactants and the products not the number of moles or atoms
give reason: we must write the physical state of the reactants and products in a thermochemical equation?
because heat content changes with the change of the physical state of the substance
what is the bond energy?
it is the amount of energy absorbed to break the bonds or released during the formation of bonds in one mole of the substance
