CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
latent heat → latentna toplina
Latent heat (L) is the quantity of heat absorbed or released when a substance changes its physical phase at constant temperature (e.g. from solid to liquid at the melting point or from liquid to gas at the boiling point).
Heat of atomisation → toplina atomiziranja
Heat of atomisation or enthalpy of atomisation is the energy required to dissociate one mole of a given substance into atoms.
heat of combustion → toplina izgaranja
Heat of combustion or enthalpy of combustion is the heat evolved when a definite quantity of a substance is completely oxidised (burned).
heat of crystallization → toplina kristalizacije
Heat of crystallization or enthalpy of crystallization is the heat evolved or absorbed when one mole of given substance crystallises from a saturated solution of the same substance.
heat of formation → toplina nastajanja
Heat of formation or enthalpy of is formation the heat evolved or absorbed when one mole of a compound is formed in its standard state from its constituent elements.
heat of fusion → toplina taljenja
Heat of fusion or enthalpy of fusion is the heat required to convert a substance from the solid to the liquid state with no temperature change (also called latent heat of fusion or melting).
heat of hydration → toplina hidratacije
Heat of hydration or enthalpy of hydration of ions corresponds to the heat that is released by hydration of one mole of ions at a constant pressure. The more the ion is hydrated, the more heat is released. Degree of hydration depends on the size and charge of ion. The smaller the ion and the greater its charge, it will be the more hydrated.
heat of reaction → toplina kemijske reakcije
Heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction is the heat evolved or absorbed as a result of the complete chemical reaction of molar amounts of the reactants.
heat of sublimation → toplina sublimacije
Heat of sublimation or enthalpy of sublimation is the energy required to convert one mole of a substance from the solid to the gas state (sublimation) without the appearance of the liquid state.
