You will use bond energies to calculate the energy involved in a chemical reaction.

3. Hess’s Law
Allows us to calculate the heat of reaction indirectly when it cannot be directly measured.
States that if you add two or more thermochemical equations to give a final equation, then you can also add the heats of reaction to give the final heat of reaction.
You will determine the heat of a reaction using Hess’s law and standard heat of formations.

4. Hess’s Law
Although the enthalpy change for this reaction cannot be measured directly, you can use Hess’s law to find the enthalpy change for the conversion of reactants to products by using the corresponding reactions.
Can multiply, divide or reverse corresponding reactions.
Whatever you do to the reaction you MUST do to the ∆ H.

15. Bond Energy
Bond energy is the amount of energy required to break apart a mole of molecules into its component atoms.
When a chemical reaction occurs, the atoms in the reactants rearrange their chemical bonds to make products.
The new arrangement of bonds does not have the same total energy as the bonds in the reactants.
Therefore, when chemical reactions occur, there will always be an accompanying energy change.
ΔH = ∑ ΔH(bonds broken) - ∑ ΔH(bonds formed)
You will use bond energies to calculate the energy involved in a chemical reaction.
