unit 2.1 Thermochemistry

Cards (16)

  • exothermic
    give out heat as they proceed
  • endothermic
    takes heat from surrounding
  • exothermic reactions
    temperature of surroundings increases
    energy decreases
  • endothermic reactions
    temperature of surroundings decreases
    energy increases
  • enthalpy change
    heat change at constant pressure, varies with conditions
  • formation enthalpy
    enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is made from its constituent elements under standard conditions
  • why cant you measure enthalpy change directly
    can make a multitude of products not only the one you want
  • combustion enthalpy
    enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is completely combusted in oxygen in standard conditions
  • whats the equation for internal energy
    Q=mcΔ\DeltaT
  • whats a calorimeter
    measures energy change
  • how to improve an enthalpy change prac
    insulate the prac
    copper calorimeter instead of glass
  • enthalpy hcange equation
    Qn\frac{Q}{n}
  • Hess' law
    no matter the route taken for a reaction the overall enthalpy change will remain the same
  • what is bond enthalpy
    change that takes place when breaking one mole of a given bond in the molecule of a gaseous species
  • average bond enthalpy
    average enthalpy change that takes place when breaking by homolytic fission 1 mole of a given type of bond in molecules in gaseous state
  • to find Δ\DeltaT on a graph 

    extrapolate graph
