A
  • energy needed to break the bond between two atoms in the gas phase (convert to gas if need be)
  • can be used to approximate standard enthalpy of reaction
36
Q

breaking bonds is a __ process

A

endothermic, delta H is +ve

37
Q

forming bonds is a ___ process

A

exothermic, delta H is -ve

38
Q

for bond energy it is reactants ___ products

A

minus products since it takes energy to break the reactant bonds (+ve) and there is an input of energy to create the product bonds (-ve)

39
Q

sublimation

A

going from solid to gas directly

40
Q

bond energy is useful when

A

there is no other data to base equations on

41
Q

bond energy data

A

only given positive values to break the bond
true only for the gas phase
are an average as C-C bond strength varies depending on the adjacent bonds

  • see notes for this
42
Q

larger reactants in bond energy yields a

A

endothermic reaction

43
Q

larger products in bond energy yields a

A

exothermic reaction

44
Q

when temperature goes down

A

that means that reaction is absorbing energy and is endothermic

45
Q

Endothermic

A

+w, +q, delta E>0, delta H>0. Gas is compressed, work is done on the system and there is cooler surroundings, energy is a reactant

46
Q

Exothermic

A

-w, -q, delta E<0, delta H<0, gas expands, the surroundings get warmer and energy is a product

47
Q

m

A

mass of solution

48
Q

delta h units

A

kj/mol unless it is in hess’s law, its just kj

49

53
Q

in therefore statements

A

-ve work turns into “work done by system is +ve value J”

+ve work turns into “ work inputted to system is +ve value J”

54
Q

delta H measures…

A

change of energy, not measuring the constant amount

55
Q

sources of error in a calorimetry lab

A
  • heat loss to calorimeter and environment
  • assuming same specific heat capacity and density as water
  • purity in reactants/not all limiting reagent reacted
  • make sure that you can explain effect on delta h1, h2, and delta H rxn.
  • make sure that the error is actually possible!
56
Q

enthalpy

A

the amount of heat released or absorber per mole of reactions

57
Q

coal

A
  • formed from the remains of plants that were buried and subjected to high pressure and heat over long periods of time
58
Q

coal disadv and adv

A
  • pros: important and plentiful in the US
    cons: expensive and dangerous to mine underground and strip mining causes a lot of environmental damage
  • cons: the burning of coal, especially high-sulfur coal, yields air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide which can lead to acid rain. even if the coal were pure carbon, the carbon dioxide produced when burned would still have significant effects on earth’s climate
59
Q

is bond energy reliable?

A

bond energy is the least accurate measure of delta h

60
Q

are all C-C bonds equal?

A

no! sometimes, the atoms around the c will pull/draw away the electrons from the bond which means more/less electrons present in that bond and if there are less electrons, it has less energy. The value listed is just an average bond energy

61
Q

bond energy larger reactants

A

endothermic

62
Q

bond energy larger products

A

exothermic

63
Q

why is the nought important?

A

shows that the process occurs in standard state. this is important for thermodynamics since you are measuring only the heat flow, not the absolute values. this is a common reference state to compare the thermodynamic properties of the two substances

64
Q

heat of formation is reactants_ products

A

products - reactants. this is because it takes energy to

65
Q

petrol and natural gas

A
  • formed from the remains of marine organisms a long time ago. plentiful but trapped in shale rock.
    petroleum: dark, thick liquid composed mostly of compounds called hydrocarbons that contain carbon and hydrogen.
  • natural gas: usually associated with petroleum depositis, consists mostly of methane, but it also contains signigicant amounts of ethane, propane and butane
66
Q

petrol and natural gas pros and cons

A
  • pros: access so much energy!
  • cons: potential contamination of ground water, risks to air quality and possible mishandling of wastes associated with the process
67
Q

hydrogen fuel

A

combustion of hydrogen gas releases so much energy

68
Q

hydrogen fuel pros and cons

A

pros: so much energy! only real waste product is water\
cons: barely any hydrogen exists as free gas, takes a lot of water to produce, transporting the energy is dangerous as the atoms can make the pipelines themselves brittle and accidental leakage could be so bad for environment

69
Q

state functions

A

energy, enthalpy

70
Q

path functions

A

heat, work

71
Q

standard enthalpies of formation are relative values and are based on____

A

the zero points fo enthalpy of formation are the elements in standard state and all substances are measured relative to this point

72
Q

if just a balanced chemical eqn was given and you had to determine the sign of W….

A

you would check the number of moles on either side of eqn. more moles in products means expansion which is -ve w. less moles in products means compression which is +ve w

73
Q

bond energy is most accurate when

A

both products and reactants are gases

74
Q

going from solid to gas

A

requires energy to break bonds. change of state is heating or cooling. is therefore endothermic!!!!

75
Q

why is the heat of formation products- reactants

A

has to do with the definition. the heat of formation is… AHH just look at the picture

76
Q

when talking about bond energy and heat of formation

A

make sure you say, “enthalpy calculated using bond energy”

77
Q

q and moles?

A

q is dependent on moles but delta h is not

78
Q

delta t and q

A

if q is less, the delta t is also less if everything is unchanged

79
Q

when doing q and w signs for a reaction:

A

write out balanced chemical equation and q is based on exo or endothermic while w is based on moles of gas before and after

80
Q

when doing specific heat capacity questions:

A

use q=mc delta t to explain it carefully. check the polarity, then the number of molecules per gram.

if given the number: say its___ as hard to increase the kinetic energy of particles of this compared to this

nonpolar vs polar: A non-polar molecule would only have van der Waals’ forces present between molecules. The weaker the intermolecular forces, the easier it is to raise the kinetic energy of the molecules. Hence, compound X will have a lower specific heat capacity than Y

81
Q

subtration and addition

A

keep the SMALLEST DECIMAL PLACE as the significant digits!!!

82
Q

surroundings vs system

A

make sure you know what is the surroundings and which are the reactions

83
Q

using the delta h to get q (delta h times n eqn)

A
  • delta h: is the moles of the coefficient of the reaction

- n: moles of actual LR not of coefficient. actual amount ex. 0.33!
