What are the standard conditions for enthalapy changes? (Especially presssure)

Can someone explain how exothermic is bond making and endothermic is bond breaking?

According to me, its just standared states that we need to keep in mind...
and pressure is I guess 1 atm = 101kpa

BEND FEXO! Remember this.

We are giving energy to break bond hence endo
When bond is formed heat is released so exo...

As an A2 student, should I study new additions to the AS syllabus? My friend has the new book and I'll photocopy it, so I don't know if i should photocopy the entire book or just the A2 bit

you need the AS part also as there are many questions from AS in paper 4, especially from organic chemistry

Just get the A2 bit (most which is repeated from the old book) - transition elements has additions in A2 chapter and infra-red spectroscopy from AS
There are not many other major changes needed for A2 so you don't need to get the whole book

I am 100% getting the A2 part, not sure if I should get the AS part as well. Will I need to study the new additions to the AS syllabus, if they exist?

Not really... AS the organic part there are no changes and the only extra thing you need to know from AS is the infra-red spectroscopy

It is already defined in the question. Volume strength is the volume of O2 evolved at rtp when a certain volume of H2O2 is completely decomposed. Like if 20dm^3 of O2 is evolved from a 1 dm^3 Volume of H2O2 on decomposition, then the volume strength of H2O2 is 20 vol. Similarly if Volume of O2 evolved will be 35dm^3 from 1dm^3 H2O2 then Volume strength will 35 vol.

In more easy words, it is the volume of O2 evolved per unit volume decompostion of H2O2.
