1

Is exothermic negative or positive

Negative

New cards
2

What are the standard conditions of enthalpy change

100kPa, 298K and 1moldm-3

New cards
3

Is endothermic positive or negative

Positive

New cards
4

What is the definition of standard enthalpy of reaction

Enthalpy change when a reaction occurs in molar quantities from the equation, under standard conditions with all reactants and products in their standard states

New cards
5

What is the definition of standard enthalpy of formation

The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions with all reactants and products in their standard states

New cards
6

What is the definition of standard enthalpy of combustion

The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions with all reactants and products in their standard states

New cards
7

Define standard enthalpy of neutralisation

The enthalpy change when an acid and a base react to form one mole of water under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in standard states

New cards
8

What’s the maths equation for when your measuring enthalpy changes using calorimetry and give the units of all the letters

Q=mc x change in t

M is mass of the substance being heated in g

C is the specific heat capacity

Change in t is temp change in k or degrees

Q is the heat energy in J

New cards
9

What’s the maths equation you use after Q=mc x change in t

Change in H= Q/n

Q is the answer to the other equation in J

Change in H is in J

N is moles

New cards
10

What are some experimental errors that can happen during calorimetry

Heat loss to surroundings, incomplete combustion and evaporation of fuel

New cards
11

Define Hess’s law

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

New cards
12

Define bond enthalpy

Energy needed to break 1 mole of a bond in a gaseous molecule

New cards
13

Define mean bond enthalpy

Average energy needed to break a type of bond across different molecules

New cards
14

What’s the maths equation for bond enthalpies

Change in H= the sum of reactants - the sum of the products
