  1. What is Enthalpy?  What is its symbol?
  2.  

     

  3. What is the equation for ΔH?
  4.  

     

  5. Under constant pressure circumstances what does ΔH equal?
  6.  

     

  7. Is enthalpy a state function?
  8.  

     

  9. Can enthalpy tell us whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic?  If so, how?
  10.  

     

  11. For the following, predict the relationship between ΔE and ΔH for the following reactions at constant pressure:
    •  

    • 2HF(g) H2 (g) + F2(g)
    •  

    • N2(g) +3H2 (g) 2NH3 (g)
    •  

    • 4NH3 (g) + 5O2 (g) 4NO(g) + 6H2O (g)

     

     

  12. Hess’ Law capitalizes on what property of enthalpy?
  13.  

     

  14. How do the following changes to a reaction affect ΔH values?
    •  

    • Reverse of reaction
    •  

    • Multiplies reaction
    •  

    • Add up reactions

     

     

  15. Given

    C6H4(OH)2 (aq)
    C6H4O2 (aq) + H2 (g)                     ΔH =177.4 kJ

     

    H2 (g) + O2 (g)
    H2O2 (aq)                             ΔH = -191.2 kJ

     

    H2 (g) + ½O2 (g)
    H2O (g)                                      ΔH = -241.8 kJ

     

    H2O (g)
    H2O (l)                                           ΔH = -43.8 kJ

    Determine ΔH for:

    C6H4(OH)2 (aq) + H2O2 (aq)
    C6H4O2(aq)+ 2H2O (l)
  16.

  25. The equation to derive the ΔH°rxn from ΔH°f is
  26.  

     

  27. Calculate ΔH° rxn for the following:
    •  

    • 4 Na(s)   +   O2 (g)      2 Na2O(s)

       

      ΔHfo = –416 kJ
    •  

    • 2 Na(s)  +   2 H2O(l)       2NaOH(aq)   +   H2(g)

       

                         ΔHfo = –286 kJ         ΔHfo = –470 kJ           
    •  

    • 2 Na(s)   +     CO2 (g)           Na2O(s)            +      CO(g)
