What is a chemical reaction at equilibrium?

deltaG = deltaH -TdeltaS. deltaG = 0 at equilibrium. Therefore deltaH = TdeltaS


How can an unknown deltaH reaction be determined using Hess's law?

Enthalpies from reaction steps are added to determine an unknownHreaction.


What does a negative H tell about a reaction?

The reaction is exothermic.


Which of the following is endothermic a dry ice evaporating b a sparkler burning c the reaction that occurs in a chemical cold pack often used to ice athletic injuries?

Dry ice evaporating is endothermic-->+DeltaH A sparkler burning is exothermic--->-DeltaH The reaction that occurs in a chemical cold pack often used to ice athletic injuries is endothermic--->+DeltaH


What does a negative H tell you about a reaction?

yes


Is baking soda and citric acid a endothermic or exothermic reaction?

It is endothermic. The heat of the water in the calorimeter decreases (giving you a -deltaH), which means that the system absorbed heat, making the reaction endothermic.


What important information does a thermochemical equation have that a regular balanced equation does not?

A thermochemical equation shows the amount of heat given out or taken in when the reaction occurs. CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 +2H2O, deltaH = -890 kJ/mol Note delta H is negative when heat is given out, exothermic and +ve when endothermic. Sorry can't do delta symbol - its a triangle!

What would form a spontaneous reaction at 298 K?

deltaH=28 kJ/mol, deltaS=0.109 kJ(molK)


Is polymerization endothermic or exothermic?

Exothermic, because the reaction enthalpy must be negative. With polymerization, the entropy decreases. The Gibbs energy has to be negative. Thus negative reaction enthalpy. Gibbs energy = reaction enthalpy - temperature*entropy


When a chemical reaction has a negative delta G is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

When a chemical reaction has a negative delta G, the reaction is exothermic because delta G is the change in energy of a system and the change in its entropy. If the effect of a reaction is to reduce G, the process will be spontaneous so delta G is negative. Hope this helps :)


What is the sign of ΔT in an endothermic reaction?

ΔH is the enthalpy of the reaction and will be positive in an endothermic reaction and negative in an exothermic reaction.ΔT designates a change in temperature. T2-T1 = ΔTOften the change in temperature will be negative for an endothermic reaction.
