the higher the enthalpy of a substance, the _____ stable it is

Back (Answer)

less

#6

exothermic reactions result in a increase in the temperature of the _______________

Back (Answer)

surrounding

#7

are the products or reactants more energetically stable in exothermic reactions?

Back (Answer)

products

#8

Back (Answer)

-

#9
Front (Question)

reactants of endothermic reactions are _____ energetically stable than that of the products

Back (Answer)

more

#10
Front (Question)

the first law of thermodynamics is: energy may be exchanged btw the ______ and the _________ but the total energy is ________

Back (Answer)

system, surroundings, constant

#11
Front (Question)

what are the standard conditions?

Back (Answer)

100kPa 1 moldm-3 298K

#12
Front (Question)

what is standard state?

Back (Answer)

the most pure, stable state of a substance measured at 100kPa (and 298K)

#13
Front (Question)

what is the enthalpy change of formation, ∆Hºf? (defin.)

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions of 298K and 100kPa

#14
Front (Question)

what is the enthalpy change of formation is 0 for…

Back (Answer)

elements

#15
Front (Question)

how do you use ∆Hºf to find ∆Hºreaction

Back (Answer)

∆Hºpdts - ∆Hºrxts

#16
Front (Question)

what is the definition of standard enthalpy change of combustion, ∆Hºc?

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change when one mole of substance in its standard state is completely burned in excess oxygen under standard conditions

#17
Front (Question)

∆Hºc is always -ve/+ve

Back (Answer)

-ve

#18
Front (Question)

what is the standard enthalpy change of neutralisation? ∆Hºneu

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change when one mole of water is formed between the neutralisation of an acid and a base under standard conditions

#19
Front (Question)

why do weak acids and bases have less exothermic enthalpy change as compared to strong acids and bases?

Back (Answer)

• WA+B only slightly ionised • part of the heat evolved from neutralisation is used to dissociate WA/B

#20
