Studied by 3 people
Where is potential energy stored
In the chemical bonds of the reactants/products
Where is kinetic energy found
In the temperature of the reacting mixture where atoms and ions are present
Why is energy always transferred from a warmer body to a cooler one
Entropy
What happens when heat is transferred
There is an increase in average kinetic energy in the particles
What is an endothermic process example
The bond dissociation energy is the energy required to break a bond
What is an exothermic process example
Bond making
What is the goal when making bonds? what does it mean for the energy?
The goal is more stability and it means less potential energy.
Limitation when it comes to enthalpy
Any change in value not accounted for in the result of the initial + final measurements.
What is enthalpy
The amount of energy stored in a bond between atoms in a molecule.
What determines an intensive and extensive property? Which type is heat and temperature?
Temp is intensive because it doesn’t depend on the amount
Heat is extensive because heat is a measure of the total energy of a substance
Compare the product’s stability to the reactants in an exothermic and endothermic reaction.
In endothermic the product is more stable compared to reactants because of the lower potential energy
In exothermic the product is less stable compared to the reactants because of the higher potential energy
