Enthalpy

A value which represents the heat content of a system.

2
New cards

Definition of activation energy

The minimum energy required to break bonds and start a reaction.

Standard conditions: 25/298k, 101kPa/1atm, 1 mol/dm-3, all species in standard states

3
New cards

Definition of Standard Enthalpy Change of a reaction

The enthalpy change that accompanies a chemical reaction in the molar quantities shown by an equation. This is under standard conditions will all species in standard states.

4
New cards

Definition of Standard Enthalpy change of formation

Hf is the enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a compound is formed from it’s elements. This is under standard conditions with all species in standard states.

5
New cards

Definition of Standard Enthalpy Change of Combustion

Hc enthalpy change when one mole of a compound reacts completely with oxygen. This is under standard conditions with all species in standard states.

6
New cards

Definition of Standard Enthalpy Change of Neutralisation

Hneut is the enthalpy change that accompanies the reaction of an acid and a base to form one mole of water.

7
New cards

Definition of average bond enthalpy

Average bond enthalpy is the mean energy needed to break 1 mole of a particular bond in gaseous molecules.

8
New cards

Hess’s Law

The enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is independent of the route taken

9
New cards

Why should you use a Hess cycle

When delta H cannot be determined directly

New cards

Bond Energy

Bond Energy is the energy needed to break 1 mole of a particular Bond.
