What happens to bonds during a reaction?
Bonds
are
broken
and
then
made
View source
What is required for bonds to be broken?
Energy
is taken in from surroundings
View source
What occurs when bonds are formed?
Energy
is given out
View source
How does the overall energy change of a reaction depend on bond processes?
It depends on
energy transferred
in breaking and forming bonds
View source
What is the enthalpy change when energy is taken in?
Enthalpy change is
positive
View source
What is the enthalpy change when energy is released?
Enthalpy change is
negative
View source
Under what conditions is enthalpy measured?
100 kPa
pressure and
298 K
temperature
View source
What is the enthalpy of formation (∆fHo)?
Enthalpy change when
one
mole
of
substance
is produced from
elements
View source
What is the enthalpy of combustion (∆cHo)?
Enthalpy
change
when
one
mole
of
substance
is
burned
in
oxygen
View source
What do mean bond enthalpies represent?
Energy required to break different
covalent bonds
View source
How are bond enthalpy values determined?
Using
calorimetry
methods
experimentally
View source
Why do bond enthalpy values differ from data book values?
They are not
exact
and vary in each situation
View source
What is calorimetry?
Experimental method for finding
enthalpy change
View source
What does calorimetry measure to find enthalpy change?
Temperature change
over
time
View source
How is the measured change in temperature related to energy change?
It is
proportional
to the energy change
View source
What is the formula for calculating energy change (q)?
q =
mc∆T
View source
What is specific heat capacity?
Energy required to raise 1g of substance by 1K
View source
Why are ∆H values found using calorimetry never completely accurate?
Energy is lost through
conduction
or convection
View source
What does Hess's Law state about energy in a reaction system?
Energy must be
conserved
View source
What does Hess's Law allow us to determine?
Enthalpy
changes for
reactions
not found directly
View source
What method is used in Hess's Law to calculate enthalpy changes?
Triangular cycle method
with an intermediate product
View source
How do the arrows in Hess's Law diagrams indicate calculations?
They indicate whether to
add
or
subtract
values
View source
How can Hess's Law be used with enthalpies of formation?
To calculate
enthalpy change
using given enthalpies
View source
What do the arrows point to in the triangular diagram for enthalpies of formation?
Arrows point out from the
central product
View source
How can Hess's Law be used with enthalpies of combustion?
To calculate
enthalpy change
using combustion enthalpies
View source
What do the arrows point to in the triangular diagram for enthalpies of combustion?
Arrows point towards the
central product
View source
What do bond enthalpy data represent?
Energy required to break
one mole
of bond
View source
How can bond enthalpy data be used with Hess's Law?
To find
overall enthalpy change
for a
reaction
View source
What direction do reaction arrows point in Hess's Law diagrams?
Arrows point towards the
central product
View source

Energy
is taken in to break bonds
View source
What type of reaction is associated with breaking bonds?
Endothermic
reaction
View source
What energy change is associated with making bonds?
Energy is
released
to make bonds
View source
What type of reaction is associated with making bonds?
