Enthalpy change
Measure of heat content of a substance at constant pressure
Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another
Exothermic reaction
Heat goes from the system to the surrounding
Endothermic
Heat goes from surrounding to the system
Enthalpy change of reaction
The change of enthalpy in relation to the complete conversion of 1 mole of reactant to a product
Enthalpy chanfe of solution
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is dissolved in water
Enthalpy change of neutralisation
Enthalpy change when an acid and base react to produce 1 mole of water
Enthalpy change of combustion
Enthalpy change the complete combustion of 1 mole of a substance in oxygen
Standard enthalpy change of combustion
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of substance is burnt in excess oxygen at a pressure of 1 atm and at a temp of 25°C
Hess’s Law
The enthalpy chage for a reaction is independent of the pathway taken from reactants to products
Standard enthalpy change of formation
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is formed in their standard states (1 atm, 298K)
