Thermochemistry Flashcards
Delta T
Temperature Change
To find enthalpy change per mol
Delta H = MC x Delta T / n
Enthalpy change
What type of reaction gives out heat?
Exothermic reactions
When it Delta H negative?
Exothermic reactions
Combustion is an example of what kind of reaction?
Exothermic reaction
What type of reactions takes in heat?
Endothermic reactions
When is Delta H positive?
Endothermic reactions
Decomposition of limestone and photosynthesis are examples of?
Endothermic reactions
Standard thermodynamic conditions
1 atmosphere pressure (1atm)
Temperature 298K (25*C)
All solutions having a concentration of 1 mol dm-3
Substances present in their standard states at 295K
Triangle means (delta)
Change
H means
Enthalpy
T means
Tempreature
3 types of enthalpy changes
- Standard enthalpy change of reaction
- Standard enthalpy change of combustion
- Standard enthalpy change of formation
Enthalpy change of combustion
Endothermic or Exothermic?
Exothermic
Hess’ Law
The enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route taken to achieve the overall change
