Explain:

Endothermic vs. Exothermic reactions in terms of enthalpy

Exothermic reactions releases heat into the surroundings, system loses energy, ΔH < 0
Endothermic reactions absorbs heat from the surroundings, ΔH > 0

What are the two possible units for reaction enthalpies? Explain when each is used

kJ: The enthalpy change for the reaction involving the numbers of moles equal to the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation as written
kJ/mol: The enthalpy change for the reaction per 1 mole of a particular substance that is either stated or implied by the context

For an isolated calorimeter system:

How do we write the formula?

q surr = -q sys = - (q rxn + q sol + q cal) = 0
* This all turns into qrxn = -qsol if the calorimeter does not absorb/release heat

What is C cal? What is the process of determining it called?

Heat capacity of the calorimeter (calorimeter constant)
Calorimeter calibration

What are the 2 common methods of calorimeter calibration?

Adding a known amount of hot water with known initial temperature
Carrying out a chemical reaction, with a known heat of reaction

# In calorimeter calibration: How does the water method calibrate the calorimeter?

* No chemical reaction takes place * Measure the temperature at which the water and calorimeter are at equilibrium * q water = - q cal

# In calorimeter calibration: How does a reaction calibrate the calorimeter?

* The heat of the reaction is absorbed by calorimeter * q cal = -q rxn

# Define: Bomb calorimeter

Typically used to measure the heat liberated from gaseous or combustion reactions

# State the formula for: Amount of heat produced by the chemical reaction in a bomb calorimeter

q rxn = - (q cal + q water) = - (C cal + c water * m water)ΔT

# Define: Standard enthalpy of formation

The enthalpy change for the reaction in which 1 mole of a substance under standard conditions (1 atm and 298.15 K) is formed from the constituent elements in their reference states under standard conditions

# Define: Molar Enthalpy of Reaction

The amount of energy per 1 mole of a particular reactant or product

# For standard enthalpy of formation, state: * Notation * Other names * Type of reaction involved

* ΔH^o f * Standard heat of formation * Formation reaction

# Define: Standard state

The state of a substance under standard conditions

# Define: Reference state

Refers to elements; form of the element which is the most stable under standard conditions

What is it called when an element can exist in two or more different forms?

Allotropes

# State: ΔH^o f of element in the reference state under standard conditions

# True or False: The standard enthalpy of formation of an element is always zero under standard conditions

Not necessarily. The standard enthalpy of formation of an element under standard conditions is NOT zero if the element is not in reference state

# State: Hess's Law of Thermochemistry

The enthalpy change for a reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps of the reactions

How are standard enthalpies of formation used to calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction? State the formula

The reactants are hypothetically "unformed" in a reaction that is the reverse of formation, after which the resulting elements combine to form the products * ΔH^o rxn = ΔH^o f (products) - ΔH^o f (reactants)

# State formula for: Hess's Law when: 1. Multiple products or reactants are present 2. For a generic reaction: aA + bB --> cC + dD

1. ΔH^o reaction = ΣΔH^o f (products) - ΣΔH^o f (reactants) 2. ΔH^o rxn = [cΔH^o f (C) + dΔH^o f (D)] - [aΔH^o f (A) + bΔH^o f (B)]

What is an extensive property?

A property where stoichiometric coefficients matter (for example, ΔH)

# Define: Heat of combustion

* ΔH^o for a given combustion reaction * The energy released when one mole of a fuel in its standard state undergoes complete combustion with oxygen to form products in their standard state

What is the heat of combustion also known as?

Standard enthalpy of combustion

What are the common products of complete combustion? Incomplete combustion?

* CO2 and H2O * CO

# Define: Bond enthalpy

The energy required to break one mole of a specific type of bond (single, double, or triple) between two atoms, provided the reactants and products are BOTH gases

When bonds form between atoms in gas phase:

Energy is always released (exothermic)

When bonds are broken to form atoms of gases:

Energy is always required (endothermic)

# Define: Total Bond Enthalpy (TBE)

The energy required to break all of the bonds in one mole of a gaseous compound

What is TBE also known as?

Enthalpy of atomization

What is the general concept of TBE?

One mole of gaseous compound --> Gaseous atoms

How is the average bond enthalpy determined?

Determined by dividing the TBE of a molecule which contains only one type of bonds by the total number of those bonds

# List: The 2 methods for determining TBEs

1. Determining the ΔH^o using the standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH^o f) data 2. Summing up the enthalpies of all the bonds in the molecule, using the average bond enthalpies

# True or False: The is a small difference between calculating TBE using standard enthalpy of formation and average bond enthalpies

True

Which method of calculating TBE is more accurate?

Using standard enthalpy of formation

What is another method we can determine ΔH for gas-phase reactions?

ΔH rxn = TBE (reactants) - TBE (products)

When can we calculate ΔH using the TBE of reactants and products?

Only when ALL reactants and products are in GAS-PHASE
