Extra Help For Chapter 14

This video gives you an introduction to exothermic and endothermic reactions. It also gives a sample reaction coordinate diagram for each process.

This video gives you two examples of finding delta H using bond energies.

This video explains state functions.

This video explains how to use enthalpies of formation to calculate the Delta H of a reaction.

This video explains how to relate the energy involved in a reaction to the amount of a reactant.

This video explains reaction coordinate diagrams, which he calls “potential energy diagrams.”

This video explains entropy. You don’t have to watch beyond 3:27, because at that point, he starts introducing equations that we don’t use.

This video shows how to predict the sign of the Delta S in a chemical reaction.

This video shows how to determine the Delta S of a reaction using standard entropies.

This video explains how to use the Gibbs Free Energy to determine the spontenaity of a reaction. It also talks about how you can use the Delta H and Delta S to determine the temperatures at which a reaction is spontaneous.
