QuestionAnswer
What is enthalpy? A measure of the heat energy of a substance
What is enthalpy change ΔH? The change in heat energy of a substance at constant pressure
What is the unit of ΔH? KJmol-1

Are making bonds exo/endothermic? Explain your answer Exo- energy is given out when bonds are made
Draw an energy level diagram for an exothermic reaction
Draw an energy level diagram for an endothermic reaction
How do you calculate the overall energy change of a reaction? Energy released when bonds are made in the products- energy needed to break bonds in the reactants
In an exothermic reaction is the enthalpy change positive or negative? negative
Why is the enthalpy change in an exothermic reaction negative? The products have less energy than the reactants because energy is lost to the surroundings
In an endothermic reaction in the enthalpy change positive or negative? positive
Why is the enthalpy change in an endothermic reaction positive? The products have more energy than the reactants because energy is taken in from the surroundings

Why is extrapolation used to find an accurate ∆T for an exo/endo reaction? to allow for a heat loss from the polystyrene cup
Suggest why the experimental ∆Hc of ethanol is lower than the data book value Some heat is lost to the surroundings and is not all transferred to the water
Suggest what could be done to reduce the heat loss in a calorimetry experiment use a heat shield to prevent the heat lost from the burning substance
