What is Absolute temperature?

0 kelvin (-237.15°C) - the temperature at which the thermodynamic system has the lowest energy - the temperature at which all the particles have the least amount of kinetic energy

What are the two types of oxygen in the atmosphere?

1. di - oxygen (O2) 2. tri - oxygen or ozone (O3)

In a school lab, which apparatus can be used to determine enthalpy changes (ΔH)?

"a coffee cup calorimeter"

A reaction is carried out in a total of 50.0 cm3 of aqueous solution. The temperature of the reaction mixture reaches a maximum, showing an increase of 20.0 °C above the initial temperature. The amount of the limiting reagent that reacted was 0.10 mol. What is the enthalpy change (in kJ mol-1) for the reaction? Assume the specific heat capacity of the solution = 4.18 J g-1 K-1 and the density of the solution is 1.0 g cm-3.

- (50.0 × 4.18 × 20.0) / (0.10 × 1000) Firstly, you calculate the heat given out in the experiment using q = mcΔT = (50.0 × 4.18 × 20.0). This is heat given out and so a negative sign is placed in front. The value is then divided by 0.10 to get the value per mole; and converted to kJ by dividing by 1000.

What are the standard conditions for enthalpy?

- A pressure of 100 kPa - A temperature of 25°C (298 K)

Who published Hess' Law?

- Germain Henri Hess - 1840

What is reaction mechanism?

- How reactions happen at a molecular level by suggesting a sequence of bond breaking and bond making - The microscopic path by which reactants are transformed into products

What is a "coffee cup calorimeter" made up of?

- a polystyrene cup - a lid - thermometer

what happens during the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate?

- calcium carbonate is heated - decomposes to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide

What are some examples of exothermic reactions?

- combustion - neutralisation reactions

What are the advantages of the simple polystyrene cup as a calorimeter?

- good heat insulator, so it reduces heat loss to the surroundings - the expanded polystyrene cup absorbs very little heat itself, so there is no need to calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter

What are some forms that energy takes?

- heat - light - sound - electrical energy

What are the limitations to calculating enthalpy changes in a school lab?

- heat loss in the surroundings and heat absorbed by the calorimeter - incomplete combustion of the fuel - assumptions made about the specific heat capacity and density of aqueous solutions

what can the difference in the values in enthalpy of combustion?

- not all the heat produced by the combustion reaction is transferred to the water. Some is needed to heat the copper colorimeter and some has passed to the surroundings - the combustion of the ethanol is unlikely to be complete owing to the unlimited oxygen available, as assumed by the literature value - the experiment was not preformed under standard conditions

Why is Hess' Law useful?

- not always possible to directly measure the enthalpy change we want - it may be an endothermic reaction that needs a constant heat supply - it may be that the reaction doesn't 'stop' when you need it to - it may be that the reaction is too slow - Hess cycles allow us to measure enthalpy changes directly

What are the types of systems?

- open - closed - isolated

What does Hess' Law state?

- the enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the pathway of that reaction - the total enthalpy change in a chemical reaction is independent of the route by which the chemical reaction takes place, as long as the initial and final conditions are the same

What does the increase in temperature when an object is heated up rely on?

- the mass of an object - the heat added - the nature of the substance

25 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 NaOH is added to 25 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 HCl. The temperature increases by 6.0°C. Determine the enthalpy change for the reaction, in kJ mol-1. Assume the specific heat capacity of the solution and its density are the same as that of water (4.18 J g-1 oC and 1 g cm-3). #1

Chemical reactions involve changes in enthalpy. What sign is given to the enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction? Answer with positive or negative.

Negative Enthalpy changes are defined in terms of whether heat is transferred to or from the system to the surroundings. In an exothermic reaction heat is given out (lost) by the system to the surroundings, hence the sign is negative. The temperature of the surroundings, as measured by the thermometer, increases.
