Enthalpy Changes

Students explore exothermic and endothermic reactions in terms of enthalpy changes. They will learn to define and use standard enthalpy changes of reaction, formation, and combustion.

8 methodologies

Bond Energies

Students will understand the concept of bond energy and its relationship to the enthalpy change of a reaction. They will calculate enthalpy changes using average bond energies.
