Q

Define Enthalpy

A

The amount of energy required to break bonds.
Different bonds have different strengths, and so have different bond enthalpies

16
Q

How do you find the enthalpy charge (∆H) ?

A

Energy needed to break bond — energy released in making of bonds

+ = endothermic
- = exothermic

17
Q

What happens to the bonds?
reactions ——> Atoms ——> products

A
  1. bonds broken, endothermic
  2. bond made, exothermic
18
Q

What does ∆H represent?

A

Overall energy charge/ enthalpy charge

19
Q

Define endothermic reaction

A

endothermic reaction absorbes thermal energy from the surrounding, leading to a decrease in the temperature of the surrounding

20
Q

Define exothermic reaction

A

Exothermic reactions release thermal energy to the surroundings, leading to an increase in the temperature of the surroundings

21
Q

What are the conditions required for a reaction to occur?

A

When sufficient particles collide, with sufficient energy to react

If particles don’t have enough energy, they simply bounce off each other
