HESS LAW Flashcards
(16 cards)
A chemical equation that includes the entalphy change (∆H) of the reaction.
- ∆ (final - initial) = entalphy
Thermochemical equation
Represents the heat absorbed or released during the reaction at constant pressure
Entalphy change
• ___ When we say absorbed
•___ when we say released
Endothermic
Exothermic
A chemical equation that gives us information about the state of reactants and products and the energy changes that accompany a chemical reaction
Thermochemical equation
∆H rxn =
- 285.8 kJ
CH4 - methane
202 - 2 moles of oxygen gas
CO2 - 1 mole of carbon dioxide
2H20- 2 moles of water
CH4+ 202 —> CO2 + 2H20
• CH4 +202 —> CO2 + 2H20+ ∆H
When a reaction ___ energy, it is ___. This means that the reaction releases heat to its sorroundings.
Ex: The combustion methane (CH4) liberates energy and is an exothermic reaction
Liberates
Exothermic
A reaction that absorb energy from their sorroundings.
Ex: The process of photosynthesis in plants, where energy from sunlight is absorbed to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen
Endothermic
Pioneer of hess law
German hess
Based on the idea that energy is conserved and cannot be created or destroyed.
Hess law
The entalphy change of a chemical reaction is independent of the path taken
Hess law
It states that the total entalphy change of a reaction is the same, no matter how many steps the reaction is carried out in. In other words, if you can add up the entalphy change of individual steps to get the overall entalphy change, the path taken doesn’t matter
Hess law
What formation is this in hess law?
C+ 02 —> CO2 ∆H= -393.5 kJ
- kahit anong gamitin ito parin ang makukuha
Direct formation
What type of formation is this in hess law?
C+ ½O2—> CO2 ∆H= -110.5 kJ
Formation of carbon monoxide (CO)
- kalahati lang ang gagamitin
Two step formation
HESS LAW
Step 1: when re-writing the value (-) change into (+)
Step 2: 2CO2 (g) becomes 2C(s) + 202 (g) —> 2CO2 (g)
Step 3: H2O becomed H2(g) + 1/2 O2 (g) —> H20
Step 4:
Flip reactants to product (product ang mauuna)
Multiple by two the first product
Do nothing to second product
Add up ∆H
