Is<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>An <strong>enthalpy change<\/strong>, \u0394H, is the heat energy transferred in a reaction measured at constant pressure. It is measured in kJ mol\u207b\u00b9, so it always refers to the amounts shown in a stated equation or to one mole of a named substance. Scale the equation and the value scales with it: CH\u2084(g) + 2O\u2082(g) \u2192 CO\u2082(g) + 2H\u2082O(l) has \u0394H = \u2212890 kJ mol\u207b\u00b9, while 2CH\u2084(g) + 4O\u2082(g) \u2192 2CO\u2082(g) + 4H\u2082O(l) has \u0394H = \u22121780 kJ mol\u207b\u00b9 for the same reaction written for twice as much.<\/p>\n<p>Chemists split the world into two parts. The <strong>system<\/strong> is the reacting chemicals; the <strong>surroundings<\/strong> are everything else, including the solvent, the container and the air. An enthalpy change describes energy moving between the two, which is why a thermometer placed in the surroundings can be used to measure it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ols-key-box\">\n<p><strong>Definition:<\/strong> Enthalpy change, \u0394H, is the heat energy change measured at constant pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"ols-note-card\">\n<div class=\"ols-note-title\">\n<div class=\"ols-note-icon\">2<\/div>\n<h2>Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>In an <strong>exothermic<\/strong> reaction energy is transferred from the system to the surroundings, so the surroundings get warmer and \u0394H is <strong>negative<\/strong>. The products have less enthalpy than the reactants. Combustion of fuels, neutralisation and respiration are all exothermic.<\/p>\n<p>In an <strong>endothermic<\/strong> reaction energy is transferred from the surroundings to the system, so the surroundings cool and \u0394H is <strong>positive<\/strong>. The products have more enthalpy than the reactants. Thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate, photosynthesis and dissolving ammonium nitrate in water are endothermic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ols-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"ols-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Exothermic<\/th><th>Endothermic<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td><strong>Direction of energy transfer<\/strong><\/td><td>system to surroundings<\/td><td>surroundings to system<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Sign of \u0394H<\/strong><\/td><td>negative<\/td><td>positive<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Temperature of surroundings<\/strong><\/td><td>rises<\/td><td>falls<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Enthalpy of products<\/strong><\/td><td>lower than reactants<\/td><td>higher than reactants<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Example<\/strong><\/td><td>CH\u2084 + 2O\u2082 \u2192 CO\u2082 + 2H\u2082O<\/td><td>CaCO\u2083 \u2192 CaO + CO\u2082<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ols-key-box\">\n<p><strong>Common mistake:<\/strong> A temperature rise means the reaction is exothermic, not endothermic.

It is the energy needed to start breaking bonds, so even very exothermic reactions such as the combustion of methane need a spark or flame to begin.<\/p>\n<p>An enthalpy level diagram shows only the enthalpy change. A <strong>reaction profile diagram<\/strong> adds the curve over the top, so the activation energy can be read as the height of the peak above the reactants. Edexcel expects you to know that activation energy is shown on a reaction profile but not on an enthalpy level diagram.<\/p>\n<p>The same peak gives the activation energy for the <strong>reverse<\/strong> reaction, measured from the products level up to the top of the curve. For an exothermic reaction the reverse barrier is the larger of the two; for an endothermic reaction it is the smaller.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ols-key-box\">\n<p><strong>Key idea:<\/strong> \u0394H is fixed by the reactants and products; activation energy is the barrier between them.

temperature than sodium.\";\nconst saqTeacherFeedbackText=\n\"Comment:\\n\"+\n\"This answer is not correct. Melting temperature is a result of bonding strength, not the cause of it.\\n\\n\"+\n\"In metallic bonding, positive metal ions are attracted to a sea of delocalised electrons. The strength of this attraction depends on the charge of the ions and the number of delocalised electrons.\\n\\n\"+\n\"Magnesium forms Mg\u00b2\u207a ions and contributes two delocalised electrons per atom, whereas sodium forms Na\u207a ions and contributes only one electron. This results in a stronger electrostatic attraction in magnesium. Additionally, Mg\u00b2\u207a ions have a higher charge density than Na\u207a ions, further strengthening the metallic bonding.\\n\\n\"+\n\"Next time, include:\\n\"+\n\"\u2022 Ion charge: magnesium forms Mg\u00b2\u207a, sodium forms Na\u207a \u2713\\n\"+\n\"\u2022 Delocalised electrons: magnesium provides more electrons to the sea \u2713\\n\"+\n\"\u2022 Charge density: smaller, more highly charged ions create stronger attraction \u2713\\n\\n\"+\n\"You were close.

It describes energy moving between the reacting chemicals and their surroundings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ols-faq-item\">\n<h3>How do I know if a reaction is exothermic?<\/h3>\n<p>The temperature of the surroundings rises, because energy has been transferred from the chemicals to the surroundings. \u0394H is negative and the products have less enthalpy than the reactants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ols-faq-item\">\n<h3>What does an enthalpy level diagram show?<\/h3>\n<p>The enthalpy of the reactants and products as two levels, with an arrow from reactants to products labelled with \u0394H. It does not show the activation energy; a reaction profile does.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ols-faq-item\">\n<h3>What are standard conditions?<\/h3>\n<p>A pressure of 100 kPa, a stated temperature (usually 298 K), solutions at 1 mol dm\u207b\u00b3, and every substance in its standard state. The symbol \u29b5 marks a standard value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ols-faq-item\">\n<h3>Does a catalyst change \u0394H?<\/h3>\n<p>No. A catalyst lowers the activation energy, so the reaction is faster, but the enthalpies of the reactants and products are unchanged, so \u0394H stays the same.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ols-related-card\">\n<h2>Related Energetics Pages<\/h2>\n<p>Use these pages to connect enthalpy definitions, measurement and calculation methods across the topic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ols-related-grid\">\n<a class=\"ols-related-item\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelearningsystem.net\/xyz\/revision-notes\/a-level-chemistry\/edexcel\/topic-8-energetics-i\/standard-enthalpy-changes\/\">Standard Enthalpy Changes<\/a>\n<a class=\"ols-related-item\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelearningsystem.net\/xyz\/revision-notes\/a-level-chemistry\/edexcel\/topic-8-energetics-i\/calorimetry-measuring-enthalpy-changes\/\">Calorimetry: Measuring Enthalpy Changes<\/a>\n<a class=\"ols-related-item\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelearningsystem.net\/xyz\/revision-notes\/a-level-chemistry\/edexcel\/topic-8-energetics-i\/hess-law-and-enthalpy-cycles\/\">Hess&#8217;s Law and Enthalpy Cycles<\/a>\n<a class=\"ols-related-item\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelearningsystem.net\/xyz\/revision-notes\/a-level-chemistry\/edexcel\/topic-8-energetics-i\/bond-enthalpies\/\">Bond Enthalpies<\/a>\n<a class=\"ols-related-item\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelearningsystem.net\/xyz\/revision-notes\/a-level-chemistry\/edexcel\/core-practicals\/cp-8-enthalpy-change-via-hess-law\/\">CP8 Enthalpy Change via Hess&#8217;s Law<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ols-attribution-card\">\n        <p><strong>Copyright and author footprint:<\/strong> This OLS revision page was written for Online Learning System by <strong>Dr. Mohammed Al-Fatah<\/strong>.
