Thermochemistry Flashcards
Unit for quantity of energy
Joules
The enthalpy change for a chemical reaction
Delta H reaction
The energy required to melt a solid at its melting point
The heat of fusion
Hess’ law
If you add two or more Thermal chemical equations to give a final equation you can also add the heat of reaction to give the final heat of reaction
Exothermic reactions
He given to surroundings
Enthalpy
Heat
Final enthalpy value (products) is lower then starting so
It’s value of H is negative
Endothermic reactions
Absorbed from surroundings
Enthalpy of products is higher than starting so
The value of H is positive
Exothermic reactions are written on
The right
Endothermic reactions are written on
The left
Heat is written as a product when
Exothermic and reactant when endothermic
The amount of heat released or absorbed during a reaction depends on
The number of moles of species involved
Quantity applies to
A balanced reaction as written
How is thermal energy transferred between two objects that are different temperatures
He always flows from higher to lower temperatures until they reach the same temperature
What is kinetic energy
Energy of motion
