Q

What is a exothermic reaction?

A

Releases energy to the surroundings

Negative enthalpy value

Requires more energy to form bonds than it does to break bonds

16
Q

What are the steps for using Hess’s Law?

A
  1. Write the net reaction equation (the “want” or “goal”)
  2. Manipulate the given equations so they will yield the net equation
  3. Multiply, divide, and/or reverse the sign of the enthalpy
  4. Cancel and add the remaining reactant and products to yield the net reaction equation
  5. Add enthalpies to determine the enthalpy of the net reaction
17
Q

What is the reference energy state?

A

SATP (Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure) is an internationally accepted set of conditions that define a standard state

At SATP the potential energy of elements is zero, this is the reference energy state

18
Q

What is thermal stability?

A

The tendency of a compound to resist decomposition when heated

A more negative enthalpy is very exothermic meaning the product has a very low potential energy, which means it’s more stable

19
Q

What is activation energy?

A

The energy barrier that must be overcome for a chemical reaction to occur

20
Q

What is an activated complex?

A

The chemical entity containing the collided reactants in collision reaction theory

21
Q

What is a catalyst?

A

A substance that increases the rate of chemical reaction without being consumed itself in the overall process

Reduces the quantity of energy required to start a reaction

Results in a greater yield in same time period

Does not alter the net enthalpy change of reaction

22
Q

What is bond energy?

A

Bond breaking requires energy

Bond making releases energy

23
Q

What are the four ways of predicting change in enthalpy?

A

Calorimetry

Hess’s Law

Molar Enthalpies of Formation

Bond Energies

24
Q

How does calorimetry predict the change in enthalpy?

A

The charge in enthalpy (H) is equal to the change in thermal energy (Q)

25
Q

How does Hess’s Law predict the change in enthalpy?

A

The change in enthalpy equals the sum of component enthalpy changes

26
Q

How do molar enthalpies of formation predict the change in enthalpy?

A

The change in enthalpy equals the enthalpies of formation for the products minus the enthalpies of formation of reactants

27
Q

How do bond energies predict the change in enthalpy?

A

The charge in enthalpy equals the energy released from bond making minus the energy required for bond breaking
