1
Enthalpy (H)
The heat stored by a substance in a chemical reaction.
New cards
2
ΔH
The overall enthalpy change for a reaction.
New cards
3
Exothermic reaction
A reaction in which heat energy is given out; products have less energy than reactants.
New cards
4
Endothermic reaction
A reaction in which heat energy is absorbed; products have more enthalpy than reactants.
New cards
5
Activated complex
A high energy intermediate state in a chemical reaction where bonds are breaking and forming.
New cards
6
Activation energy
The energy barrier that must be overcome to change reactants into products.
New cards
7
Effect of a catalyst
A catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway that lowers the activation energy.

8
Solid → Liquid
This state change means gaining energy.
New cards
9
Gas → Liquid
This state change means losing energy, resulting in a negative ΔH.
