Q

write the equation to calculate an energy change

A

q=mc∆T

17
Q

why are combustion reactions less exothermic that expected?

A
  • heat loss to the surroundings

- incomplete combustion of reactants

18
Q

how do you find the enthalpy change by using the energy change?

A

∆H=q/n

19
Q

what other factors could lead to an inaccurate ∆H result

A

non- standard conditions

20
Q

average bond enthalpy definition

A

breaking of 1 mol of bonds in gaseous molecules

21
Q

bond breaking

A

endothermic

22
Q

bond making

A

endothermic

23
Q

how to calculate the enthalpy change of reaction

A

∆H=Σ(bond enthalpies in reactions)- Σ(bond enthalpies in products)

24
Q

what is the limitation of average bond enthalpies?

A
  • actual energy involved in breaking and making individual bonds would ne slightly different
  • bonds may be in different environments
25
Q

how to work out the enthalpy change of formation

A

A=C-B

26
Q

how to work out the enthalpy change of combustion

A

A=B-C
