Q

what does Hess’s law state

A

the enthalpy change of a reaction equals the sum of the enthalpy changes for each step of the process

17
Q

what is always required to break bonds

A

energy

18
Q

entropy ——– as temperature increases

A

increases

19
Q

what is the formula for calculating free-energy change (delta G)

A

delta G= delta H-Tdelta S
T is the temperature in kelvins
delta G is the difference between the free energy of the products and the free energy of the reactants

20
Q

what does a negative delta G indicate

A

decline in free energy and signifies that a reaction may occur spontaneously (or is favorable)

21
Q

the quantity of thermal energy required to convert one mole of a liquid at its boiling point to its vapor at the same temperature; also called the heat of vaporization. it is usually expressed in units of kilojoules per mole. higher values means stronger intermolecular attractions is what?

A

completely define molar enthalpy of vaporization (delta Hvap)

22
Q

what is a chemical equation that shows the reactants, products, and amount of energy that is released or absorbed as heat

A

define thermochemical equation

23
Q

in thermodynamics, 25 C (298 K) and 1 atm of pressure is called what?

A

standard state

24
Q

the measure of the dispersal of energy in a system; the net decreases of usable energy in a system for a given temperature and quantity of matter. entropy measures randomness of a system is what?

A

entropy (S)

25
Q

when determining free energy change temperature must be in what?

A

kelvin

26
Q

which has more entropy gas, liquids, or solids

A

gas

27
Q

in spontaneous natural processes entropy tends to what?

A

entropy increases and enthalpy decreases

28
Q

what is average kinetic energy sample substance

A

temperature
