standard enthalpy change of formation (ΔHf)
the enthalpy change that results when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements (in their standard states)
temperature
average kinetic energy of molecules
heat
amount of energy exchanged due to temperature difference between two substances (higher temp.<–> lower temp.)
enthalpy change
The change in internal (chemical) energy (H) in a reaction
(the enthalpy itself cannot be measured so we measure the change instead)
ΔH exothermic = (-)
ΔH endothermic = (+)
STABILITY
exothermic < endothermic
exothermic
((-)ΔH) heat energy transferred from system to surroundings ⁻⁻|_
endothermic
((+)ΔH) system takes energy from surroundings _|⁻⁻
common experimental errors
- heat loss to the environment
- incoplete combustion
surrounding vs system
the surrounding is everything the system is NOT
ΔHBE ; ΔHc ; ΔHf
bond enthalpy/energy; combustion enthalpy; formation enthalpy
specific heat capacity and density of water
4.18 Jg⁻¹k⁻¹ ; 1.00 g/cm³
bond energy
amount of energy required to break a bond. (endothermic (+)) (kJ/mol)
calculating ΔHrxn in terms of ΔHf
(ΔHf of products) - (ΔHf of reactants)
calculating ΔHrxn in terms of ΔHBE
(ΔHBE of reactants) - (ΔHBE of products)
