  • Enthalpy change
    Change in energy during a reaction at constant pressure
  • Activation energy- minimum amount of energy required to begin breaking bonds and start a chemical reaction
  • Standard enthalpy change of formation
    Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard states and conditions
  • Standard enthalpy change of combustion
    Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen and released under standard conditions
  • Standard enthalpy change of neutralisation
    Enthalpy change when 1 mole of an acid and an alkali react together under standard conditions to form 1 mole of water
  • Hess' law: Total enthalpy change is independent of the route which the chemical reaction takes place
  • Standard conditions: temperature 298K, pressure 100kPa, solutions 1moldm-3
  • Bond breaking
    • Endothermic
  • Bond making
    • Exothermic
  • Bond Enthalpy
    The Enthalpy change that takes place when breaking by homolytic fission 1 mol of a given bond in the molecule of a gaseous species
  • Standard Enthalpy change of reaction
    Enthalpy change when the reaction occurs in the molar quantities shown in the chemical equation
