Heat in Chemical Reactions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| In a chemical equation, what does a system consist of? | the reactants |
| In a chemical reaction, what do the surroundings consist of? | the products |
| What is internal energy? | the sum of all the kinetic and potential energy in a system. |
| When do chemical bonds release energy? | while the bonds are forming |
| When do chemical bonds require energy? | while the bonds are being broken |
| What does "q" stand for? | heat |
| What does "w" stand for? | work |
| What does "ΔE" stand for? | energy change |
| What occurs during an endothermic reaction? | energy is gained/absorbed |
| What occurs during an exothermic reaction? | energy is lost/released |
| What is the one thing a State Function depends on? | the state of the substance |
| Enthalpy (H) | heat content of a system at constant pressure (value very close to energy) |
| What does "ΔH" stand for? | Enthalpy Change |
| what is the equation for ΔH? | ΔH = Hproducts - Hreactants |
| What is the standard state of a substance? | 1 atmosphere 25°C |
| What does "ΔH°" stand for? | Standard ΔH |
| What is Hess's Law used for? | to indirectly determine the enthalpy change of a reaction |
| What is Calorimetry? | the study of heat flow or movement of heat (temp. change) |
| What does Calorimetry measure? | the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction |
| What is Heat Capacity? | the amount of energy(heat) needed to raise the temperature of a substance 1°C |
| What is Specific Heat? | the amount of energy(heat) needed to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance 1°C |
| How are "qrxn" and "qsur" related? | when qrxn is negative(-qrxn), qsur is positive(qsur) and vice versa |
| What is the equation to find heat of the surroundings in a chemical reaction? | qsur = m x C x (Ti - Tf) |
| What does "C" stand for? | the specific heat of H2O (1 calorie or 4.184 Joules) |
| How do you calculate "ΔH"? | ΔH = qrxn / 1 mol |
| What is the standard state of an element? | The most stable form the element under standard conditions |
