How would you use Hesss law to calculate S for a reaction? What does the superscript indicate? Predicting the sign of S for a reaction is an important skill to master. For a gas-phase reaction, what do you concentrate on to predict the sign of S? For a phase change, what do you concentrate on to predict the sign of S? That is, how are Ssolid, Sliquid, and Sgas related to one another? When a solute dissolves in water, what is usually the sign of S for this process?
