Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can neither be created nor destoryed. It can be changed from one form to another, and exchanged between a system and its surroundings.
Definition of Atomization: endothermic or exothermic
atomization is the formation of gaseous atoms from a substance, bonds must be broken
endothermic
What is bond enthalpies
energy need to break 1 mol bonds
Standard enthalpy change of neutralization
Standard enthalpy change of neutralization between a base and an acid ( Delta H ^ theta n ) is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of water is formed from the neutralization of specified acid and base under standard conditions.
Standard enthalpy change of combustion
Standard enthalpy change of combustion of a substance (ΔΗ°c) is the enthalpy change involved when 1 mole of the substance is completely burnt in oxygen under standard conditions.
Standard enthalpy change of formation
Standard enthalpy change of formation of a substance (Delta * H ^ 0 * t) the enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions
Hess’s Law
The total enthalpy change of a chemical reaction is independent of the route by which the reaction takes place.
