Topic 7.1:
I can explain the relationship between experimental observations and energy changes associated with a chemical or physical transformation.
I can determine the direction of flow of heat by knowing the temperature difference between two substances.
I can explain how the formation of a solution maybe an exothermic or endothermic depending on the relative strengths of intermolecular interactions before and after the dissolution.
Topic 7.2:
I can represent a chemical reaction or a physical transformation with an energy diagram.
I can label the energy of reactants, energy of products, enthalpy as well as the activation energy of a forward and a eversible reactions on an energy diagram.
Topic 7.3:
I can explain the relationship between transfer of thermal energy and molecular collisions.
I can define thermal equilibrium.
Topic 7.4:
I can calculate the heat absorbed or released by a system undergoing heating/cooling based on the amount of the substance, the heat capacity and the change in Temperature.
I can use the equation Q=m. c. (Tf-Ti) to calculate the heat exchanged in a chemical reaction or a physical transformation.
I can define specific heat capacity and the molar heat capacity of a substance and use them in calculating the amount of heat released/absorbed in a transformation.
Topic 7.5:
I can explain the changes in the heat "Q" absorbed or released by a system undergoing a phase transition based on the amount of the substance in moles and in the molar enthalpy of the phase transition.
Topic 7.6:
I can calculate the heat absorbed or released by a system undergoing a chemical reaction in relationship to the amount of the reacting substance in moles and the molar enthalpy of the reaction.
Topic 7.7:
I can calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction based on the average bond energies of bonds broken and bonds formed.
Topic 7.8:
I can calculate the enthalpy change for a chemical or physical process based on the standard enthalpies of formation.
I can use tables of standard enthalpies of formation to calculate the standard enthalpies of reactions.
Topic 7.9:
I can represent a chemical or a physical process as a sequence of steps.
I can apply Hess's law to calculate the energy of an overall reaction taking place in multi-steps.
