Chemistry 3.6
A-level
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Principle of conservation of energy | Energy cannot be created or destroyed but may only be converted from one form to another |
| Hess's Law | The energy change of a chemical reaction is the same, regardless of the route taken |
| Enthalpy change= | ∆Hf (products) - ∆Hf (reactants) |
| Standard conditions | 298K 1atm. 1moldm^-3 |
| Standard state | Physical state a compound is found in under standard conditions |
| Standard Enthalpy change | The enthalpy change of a reaction, between molar quantities of reactants in their standard state, under standard conditions |
| Standard enthalpy change of atomisation | The enthalpy change when one mole of atoms in the gaseous phase are formed from one mole of the element in its standard state, under standard conditions. A change of molecular structure and change of state |
| Standard enthalpy change of lattice formation | Enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic compound is formed from the ions of the elements in the gas phase, under standard conditions |
| Standard enthalpy change of lattice breaking | Enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic compound is broken into the ions of the elements in the gas phase, under standard conditions |
| Standard enthalpy change of hydration | The enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic compound in solution is formed from the ions of the elements in the gas phase, under standard conditions |
| Electron affinity | The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous negative ions are formed from a mole of gaseous atoms gaining an electron, under standard conditions |
| Ionisation energy | The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous positive ions are formed from a mole of gaseous atoms by losing an electron, under standard conditions |
| Exothermic reaction | Energy is given out as heat, leaving less chemical energy in the products than were in the reactants |
| Endothermic reaction | Energy is taken in as heat energy, leaving more chemical energy in the products than were in the reactants |
| Standard enthalpy change of a solution | The enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of a substance dissolves completely in a solvent, under standard condition |
| Standard enthalpy change of a solution= | - ∆Hlatt +∆H hyd |
| Standard enthalpy change of formation | Measure of enthalpy change when one mole of a gaseous substance is formed from one mole of gaseous atoms, under standard conditions |
| Standard enthalpy change of combustion | Measure of enthalpy change when one mole of a gaseous substance is completely combusted in the presence of Oxygen to form one mole of gaseous atoms, under standard conditions |
| Average bond enthalpy | The average enthalpy change when one mole of a gaseous compound bond is homolytically broken to form a mole of gaseous molecules, under standard conditions. |
| Bond enthalpy change of a reaction= | Σ∆H (reactants) - Σ∆H(products) Bonds broken - Bonds formed Exothermic if negative |
| Bond enthalpy of products are | Negative!! Energy is released when bond is formed |
