energetics / enthalpy (topic 5) Flashcards
what does arrow C represent
overall energy change
draw the structure of butane C4H10 to show all the covalent bonds
(2C4H10 + 13O2 -> 8CO2 +10H2O)
calculate the energy released when all the bonds in the products are formed
(2C4H10 + 13O2 -> 8CO2 +10H2O)
(exothermic)
write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form magnesium chloride and hydrogen
the reaction results in energy being transferred to the surroundings, draw a reaction profile for the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid
reaction between methane and steam to produce hydrogen, write a balanced symbol equation for the reaction between methane and steam, include state symbols
(CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇋ 3H2(g) + CO(g))
complete the reaction profile for the reaction between methane and steam to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide
the reaction is reversible, state the effect of increasing the temperature on the yield of hydrogen (2)
- increasing the temperature would favour the endothermic forward reaction
- increasing the yield of hydrogen
(increase in temperature would cause a shift in the endothermic direction, position of the equilibrium would shift to the left, towards the reactants, cause an increase in the concentration of reactants and a decrease in the yield of products)
state what is meant by the term activation energy
the minimum energy needed for the reaction to take place
sketch the structure of propane to show all the covalent bonds
write a balanced symbol equation for the combustion of propane
(C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O) (4)
