Enthalpy
H
The heat content that is stored in a chemical system.
Endothermic reaction
A reaction in which the enthalpy of the products is greater than
the enthalpy of the reactants, resulting in heat being taken in
from the surroundings (H +ve).
Exothermic reaction
A reaction in which the enthalpy of the products is smaller than
the enthalpy of the reactants, resulting in heat loss to the
surroundings (H -ve).
Activation Energy
Standard state
The physical state of a substance under the standard conditions
of 100 kPa (1 atmosphere) and 298 K (25 C).
Bond enthalpy
The enthalpy change that takes place when breaking by
homolytic fission 1 mol of a given bond in the molecules of a
gaseous species.
Hess's Law
If a reaction can take place by more than one route and the initial
and final conditions are the same, the total enthalpy change is
independent of the route taken.
