Unit 10 Flashcards
When bonds are made is energy input or output?
Output
When bonds are broken is energy input or output?
Input
What is an exothermic reaction?
When heat is given out. In the bonds in the products are stronger, they’re more energetically stable than the reactants
What is an endothermic reaction?
Energy is taken in. Bonds in the products are weaker and less energetically stable than the reactants
What is enthalpy change?
a heat change that takes place at constant pressure
What does standard enthalpy mean?
The heat change taking place at 1 ATM
What is a state function? and give examples
Depends on where you are not how you got there. Temp
Vol
Pressure
Is enthalpy a state function?
Yes it only depends on the beginning and the end
For an exothermic reaction what is enthalpy?
negative
For endothermic reaction what is enthalpy?
Positive
What is the transition state of a chemical reaction?
it is the intermediate configuration where potential energy is at its highest. It corresponds with activation energy
What is Hess’ law?
enthalpy of a chemical reaction is independent of the path. (reactions to get to final)
What is standard state?
It is how an element appears at 1 ATM and 25C
What is the enthalpy content of an element in its standard state?
0
What is standard heat of formation?
enthalpy change when one mole of substance is made from elements in their standard states
