Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The standard enthalpy of formation of Methane has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The change in enthalpy that is associated with the formation of one mole of a substance from its related elements being in standard state is called standard enthalpy of formation (
The standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy of reaction that takes place under standard conditions.
The equation for determining the standard enthalpies of compound and element can be given by,
Hess law:
The enthalpy change for given set of reactants to the given set of products is the same, whether the process takes place in single or sequence of steps. This is called as Hess’s law.
Enthalpy is generally calculated from the standard enthalpy of formation.
To calculate: The
