Enthalpy Changes Flashcards
What are standard conditions?
100kPa
298k
In terms on energy describe an endothermic reaction
When energy is taken in from the surroundings, the enthalpy change is positive. This is an endothermic reaction
In terms on energy describe an exothermic reaction.
when energy is released into the surroundings enthalpy change is negative. This is an exothermic reaction
What is activation energy?
The minimum energy required for a reaction to take place between two colliding reactant particles.

Define the enthalpy change of reaction
The enthalpy change associated with a stated reaction. Quantities of substances in standard states react completely under standard conditions.
Define Enthalpy change of formation
The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is produced from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions.
