Make sure you know the definitions below as they are easy marks to get in AS/A-level Chemistry exam! 👩🏫
Definitions
- Hess's Law
The enthalpy change is independent of the path taken.
- Bond Enthalpy
The energy required to break 1 mole of gaseous bonds to form gaseous atoms.
- Standard Enthalpy Change of Combustion
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance undergoes complete combustion in its standard state.
- Standard Enthalpy Change of Formation
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed in its standard state from its elements in their standard states.
Enthalpy Calculations procedures:
- See what value you have to find
- Write the correct equation for the change
- See what data is provided
- Select the method of calculation which uses the data and apply Hess's Law
- Check the sign and units for ΔH
