Reactivity 1.1 Measuring enthalpy changes
Reactivity 1.1.1
Understandings:
  • Chemical reactions involve a transfer of energy between the system and the surroundings, while total energy is conserved.
Learning outcomes:
  • Understand the difference between heat and temperature.
Linking questions:
  • Structure 1.1 What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy of particles?
Picture
This video covers heat and temperature. 

Reactivity 1.1.2 and 1.1.3
Understandings:
  • Reactions are described as endothermic or exothermic, depending on the direction of energy transfer between the system and the surroundings (1.1.2).
  • The relative stability of reactants and products determines whether reactions are endothermic or exothermic (1.1.3).
Learning outcomes:
  • Understand the temperature change (decrease or increase) that accompanies endothermic and exothermic reactions, respectively (1.1.2). 
  • Sketch and interpret potential energy profiles for endothermic and exothermic reactions (1.1.3).
Additional notes:
  • Axes for energy profiles should be labelled as reaction coordinate (x) , potential energy (y) .
Picture
This video covers exothermic and endothermic reactions. 

Reactivity 1.1.4
Understandings:
  • The standard enthalpy change for a chemical reaction, ΔH⦵, refers to the heat transferred at constant pressure under standard conditions and states. It can be determined from the change in temperature of a pure substance.
Learning outcomes:
  • Apply the equations Q = mcΔT and ΔH = −Q/n in the calculation of the enthalpy change of a reaction.
Additional notes:
  • The units of ΔH⦵ are kJ mol–1.
  • The equation Q = mcΔT and the value of c, the specific heat capacity of water, are given in the data booklet.​
