|
What is the equation for P-V work?
|
w=-P (delta)V
|
|
Define: Enthalpy
|
Heat flow in chemical reactions occuring at constant pressure when no forms of work are performed other than P-V work.
|
|
What is the symbol for enthalpy?
|
H
|
|
What is the formula fr enthalpy?
|
H=E+PV
|
|
Define: State Function
|
A property of a system determined by the state of the system and not how it got that way.
|
|
Define: Enthalpy of Reaction
|
The enthalpy change of a reaction. (delta)H=H(products)-H(reactants)
|
|
If (delta)H is negative, what does that indicate?
|
The reaction was exothermic.
|
|
Define: Thermochemical Equation
|
An balanced chemical equation the shows the associated enthalpy change.
|
|
Is enthalpy an extensive or intesive change?
|
Extensive.
|
|
Explain what the enthalpy change for a reverse reaction.
|
The (delta)H is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.
|
|
Define: Calorimetry
|
The measurement of heat flow.
|
|
Define: Heat Capacity
|
The amount of energy required to raisre it's temperature 1 degree C.
|
|
Define: Molar heat capacity
|
The heat capacity of one mol of substance.
|
|
Define: Specific Heat Capacity
|
The heat capacity of 1g of substance.
|
|
What is the formula for specific heat capacity?
|
Specific heat= q (quantity of heat)/ m (grams of substance) * (delta) T (temperature change) Or q/m*(delta)T
|
|
What is the equation to find a quantity of heat that a substance has gained or lost?
|
q=Specific heat * m * (delta)T
|
|
What does Hess's Law State?
|
If a reaction is carried out in a series of steps, (delta)H for te reaction will equal the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps.
|
|
Define: The enthalpy of formation
|

|
|
Define: Standard enthalpy
|
the enthalpy change when all reactants and products are in their standard state.
