Reactivity 1.2 Energy cycles in reactions
Reactivity 1.2.1
Understandings:
  • Bond-breaking absorbs energy and bond-forming releases energy.
Learning outcomes:
  • Calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction from given average bond enthalpy data.
Additional notes:
  • Include explanation of why bond enthalpy data are average values and may differ from those measured experimentally.
  • Average bond enthalpy values are given in the data booklet.
Linking questions:
  • Structure 2.2 How would you expect bond enthalpy data to relate to bond length and polarity?
  • Reactivity 3.4 How does the strength of a carbon– halogen bond affect the rate of a nucleophilic substitution reaction?
Picture
This video covers how to calculate the enthalpy change for a reaction using average bond enthalpy values. 

Reactivity 1.2.2
Understandings:
  • Hess’s law states that the enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states.
Learning outcomes:
  • Apply Hess’s law to calculate enthalpy changes in multistep reactions.​
Picture
This video covers how to calculate the enthalpy change for a reaction from multiple reactions.
