How do you calculate \(\Delta H_{rxn} \degree\)?
Subtract the enthalpies of formation of the reactants multiplied by their stoichiometric coefficients from the enthalpies of formation of the products multiplied by their stoichiometric coefficients
If a chemical equation is reversed, what happens to \(\Delta H_{rxn}\)?
It changes sign
Definition of molar heat capacity
Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by \(1 \degree C\)
Standard state
Negative \(\Delta H\)
Exothermic reaction
When energy is transferred to a substance, is \(\Delta E\) positive or negative?
Positive
Standard Enthalpy Change (\(\Delta H \degree\))
The change in enthalpy for a process when all reactants and products are in their standard states. The degree sign indicates standard states.
When a substance is warmed, is \(\Delta E\) positive or negative?
Positive
Definition of heat capacity
Quantity of heat required to change its temperature by \(1 \degree C\)

volume, \(\Delta E\)
Positive \(\Delta H\)
Endothermic reaction
Sign Conventions for \(q\), \(w\), and \(\Delta E\)
If no heat escapes from the calorimeter, the amount of heat gained by the calorimeter __ that released by the reaction
equals
At constant volume, what is \(\Delta V\)?
$$0$$
Definition of specific heat capacity
Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of \(1\) gram of the substance by \(1 \degree C\)
$$E$$
Internal energy - the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all of the particles that compose the system

What is \(q_{soln}\)?
The heat absorbed by or lost from the solution (which is acting as the surroundings)
Standard Enthalpy of Formation (\(\Delta H_f \degree\))
Relate the heat absorbed, heat capacity, and temperature change of a calorimeter

Hess's law
Get \(\Delta H_{rxn}\) for \(A + 2B \rightarrow 2D\) using the equations \(A + 2B \rightarrow C\) and \(C \rightarrow 2D\)
What is \(\Delta H_{rxn}\)?
Enthalpy of reaction or heat of reaction and depends on the amount of material undergoing the reaction
Relate work to external pressure and change in volume
