Topic 8: Energetics I
1. know that standard conditions are 100 kPa and a specified temperature,
usually 298 K
Standard Conditions
Temperature: 298K
Pressure: 100kPa
Standard conditions are used to show enthalpy changes because they are affected by
temperature and pressure. H means the measurements were taken under standard
conditions.
2. know that the enthalpy change is the heat energy change measured at
constant pressure
Enthalpy change H: the heat change in a reaction at a constant pressure (kJ/mol)
Endothermic: reactions absorb heat energy so H is positive
indicated by a decrease in temperature
when bonds are broken
CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g) rH = +178 kJ/mol
Exothermic: reactions release heat energy so H is negative
indicated by an increase in temperature
when bonds are made
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) cH = -890kJ/mol
3. be able to construct and interpret enthalpy level diagrams showing an
enthalpy change, including appropriate signs for exothermic and
endothermic reactions
