  • what is the energy store in a compound called?
    its enthalpy (H)
  • What is the formula for enthalpy change with bond energies?
    Sum of bond energies broken - sum of bond energies made
  • What is enthalpy change?
    The heat energy transferred in a reaction at constant pressure
  • What is the value for the enthalpy chain age in the formation of an element?
    0
  • Give 2 examples of endothermic processes?
    Thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate

    Melting/boiling
  • Give 2 examples of exothermic processes?
    Combustion of fuels

    Oxidation of carbohydrates
  • When would the enthalpy change of an element not be 0?
    If it isn't in its standard state
  • in exothermic reactions is delta H positive or negative?
    negative
  • in endothermic reactions is delta H positive or negative?
    positive
  • what is the standard enthalpy of combustion?
    the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions with all reactants and products in their standard states.
  • is standard enthalpy of combustion exo of endo?
    always exo
  • what is standard enthalpy of formation?
    the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions with all reactants and products in their standard states.
  • is the standard enthalpy of formation exo or endo?
    usually exo
  • what is the standard enthalpy of neutralisation?
    the enthalpy change when one mole of water is formed from its ions in dilute solutions.
  • is the standard enthalpy of neutralisation exo or endo?
    always exo
  • what is the standard enthalpy of reaction?
    the enthalpy change when the number of reactants shown in the equation react under standard conditions to give the products in their standard states.
  • What is the law of conservation of energy?
    energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one store to another.
  • what is hess's law?
    enthalpy change is in dependant of the path taken.
  • breaking bonds ... energy
    requires
  • forming bonds ... energy
    releases
  • what is bond dissociation energy?
    the energy required to break one mole of gaseous bonds to form gaseous atoms.
  • why do we use the mean value of bond dissociation energy?
    because as a molecule begins to break down the remaining bonds exist in slightly different environments and therefore have different bond enthalpies.
  • what is mean bond enthalpy
    the average enthalpy change when one mole of bonds for the same type are broken into gaseous molecules under standard conditions.
  • what equations are used to calculate the enthalpy change for a reaction by measuring the change of temperature?

    q = mc deltaT

    enthalpy change (per mole) = q/moles
  • what do each letter stand for and what are their units in q = mc deltaT?
    q (J) = heat energy given out
    m (g) = mass of substance heated
    c (J g^-1 K^-1) = SHC
    deltaT (K) = temperature rise
