CHEM 001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 23: Enthalpy, State Function, Exothermic Process

7 views2 pages

Document Summary

Because this is a state function, the path to get here doesn"t matter. C. endothermic: enthalpy change is positive; heat flow to the system (in a constant pressure reaction) D. exothermic: enthalpy change is negative; heat flow to the surroundings (in a constant pressure reaction) The energy released comes from the intermolecular potential energy of the bonds, not the kinetic energy. A. hess"s law: sum of the enthalpy changes for each step is equal to the total enthalpy change regardless of the path chosen. Forward reaction has the exact opposite change in enthalpy as the reverse. A. activation energy: minimum kinetic energy threshold to collide molecules and make babies. Transition state: the highest energy point in a reaction where old bonds are breaking and new bonds are forming; not the same as intermediates. C. intermediates: products of one step that are the reactants for the next step.
