Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction


Lesson 3: Enthalpy Change


Primary Learning Goals

I can express enthalpy changes in various ways (energy term, enthalpy change, potential energy diagram, molar enthalpy change) and convert among them.

I can solve quantitative problems involving enthalpy changes.


Work

1. Read the subsections Enthalpy Change and Representing Molar Enthalpy Change in section 5.2 of the textbook (pp298-305).

2. Study this note on representing enthalpy change.

3. Study this enthalpy-calculation example.

4. Do questions 1, 2, 3 on page 301  solutions

5. Do questions 5, 6, 7 on page 306  solutions

6. Go to Edsby and complete Energy and Rates Lesson-3 Quiz.
