Back
Examples: ΔS>0
Front
- Melting
- Vaporization
- Reactants contain less particles than products
- Dissolving
- Adding heat

Formula: Heat Lost/Gained with c
Front
q = mcΔT
Heat lost or gained (J) is the mass, times the specific heat, times the change in temperature

Bond Enthalpy
Front
The energy needed to break or create a bond
Formation - energy released (exothermic)
Break - energy added (endothermic)
Back
Formula: ΔH with Bond Enthalpy
Front

Hint: B comes before F alphabetically, so Broken comes before Formed
Exothermic process - more bonds formed (-ΔH)
Endothermic - more bonds broken (+ΔH)

Remember: For solutions (aqueous reactions), the water is a part of the surroundings!
ΔH = H(products) - H(reactants)
Calculates the overall change in heat (heat absorbed or released in the reaction) by finding the final heat contained within the produces minus the initial heat contained within the reactants
Hint: Enthalpy has an H so it is ΔH
