AP Chemistry Unit 6.6 Introduction to Enthalpy of Reaction

Introduction to Enthalpy of Reaction

  • Enthalpy (H) = heat
    • Is an extensive property and state function
  • ;
    • E is the internal energy of the system, P is the pressure of the system, and V is the volume of the system
    • Units of ΔH = kJ
  • When a reaction and ΔH are given, changing the coefficients/amounts changes ΔH by the same factor
  • Heat value written on reactant side = endothermic
  • Heat value written on product side = exothermic & ΔH will be negative
