First ionisation energy

Back (Answer)

of an element is the energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of the gaseous element to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions.

#2
Front (Question)

Disproportionation

Back (Answer)

is the oxidation and reduction of the same element in a redox reaction.

#3
Front (Question)

Activation energy

Back (Answer)

is the minimum energy required to start a reaction by breaking bods in the reactants.

Back (Answer)

ΔrHø is the energy change associated with a given reaction.

#5
Front (Question)

The enthalpy change of formation

Back (Answer)

ΔfHø is th eenergy change that takes place when 1 mole of a compound is formed fromits constituent elements in their standard state under standard conditions.

#6

Front (Question)

Avarage bond enthalpy

Back (Answer)

is the mean energy needed for 1 mole of a given type of gaseous bonds to undergo homolytic fission.

#11
Front (Question)

Hess’ law

Back (Answer)

States that the enthalpy change in a chemical reactionis independant of the route it takes.
