Exothermic reaction |
A reaction in which heat is released from the system |
|
Endothermic reaction |
A reaction in which heat is gained by the system |
|
Breaking chemical bonds is... |
Endothermic |
|
Activation energy |
The minimum amount of energy required by the reactants in order to form products |
|
Standard conditions |
100 kPa 298 K 1 mol/dm3 |
|
Enthalpy change of combustion |
Te exothermic Heat change which accompanies the complete combustion of one mile of a substance |
|
Enthalpy change of combustion |
The change in energy when 1 mol of a substance is made from its elements in their normal states |
|
Enthalpy change of formation of an element |
0 |
|
Enthalpy change of neutralisation |
The exothermic heat change that accompanies the production of one mole of water when an acid reacts with a base or alkali |
|
Why is experimental determination of Enthalpy change of combustion very inaccurate |
Incomplete combustion Loss of heat to surroundings |
|
Explain average bond Enthalpy |
The endothermic heat change to break one mole of covalent bonds in gaseous molecules averaged over a range of molecules with that bond |
|
Equation for calculating the Enthalpy change of the reaction using bond enthalpies |
Bonds broken- bonds made= change in Enthalpy |
|
Hess' law |
The total Enthalpy change from reactants to products is the same independent of the route taken |
|
Boltzmann distribution |
The distribution of energies of molecules at a particular temperature, often shown as a graph |
|
Area under curve (Boltzmann) |
Equal to the total number of molecules in the sample. AREA DOES NOT CHANGE with conditions |
|
How many molecules in a system with zero energy? |
NONE |
|
When drawing a Boltzmann curve why does it never touch the X axis |
Because there is no maximum energy for a molecule |
|
Why 100% atom economy? |
Only desired product made |
|
Benefits of enzymes |
< energy demand Specific - pure products ^ atom economy |
|
Why do bond Enthalpy have to be gases |
So London forces are not measured |
|
Rate = |
Change in concentration -------------------------------------- Time taken
Moldm-3S-1 |
|
Catalyst same/ different state |
Same- homogeneous Different- heterogeneous |
|
Homogenous equilibrium |
All species same state |
|
Homogenous equilibrium |
All species same state |
|
Dynamic equilibrium |
In closed system ... |
|
Homogenous equilibrium |
All species same state |
|
Dynamic equilibrium |
In closed system ... |
|
La Chateliers principle |
When a system in dynamic equilibrium is shifted to change the position of equilibrium will shift to minimise the change |
|
Haber process conditions |
450‘c 200 atmosphere Fe catalyst |
|
Equilibrium constant |
Allows us to estimate position of equilibrium.... •greater than one = equilibrium shifted to left
