When determining the energy of a reaction where 0.250 mol of a substance with a AH = -2250.0 kJ/mol reacts, we perform this calculation: comb -2250.0 kJ x kJ -2250.0 kJ OR 0.250 mol 1mol 0.250 mol 1mol Why can't we simply say that the energy of the reaction is -2250.0 kJ?

Unit Name: Thermodynamic Chemistry

investigate and analyse energy changes and rates of reaction in physical and chemical processes, and solve related problems;

 

When determining the energy of a reaction where 0.250 mol of a substance with a
AH = -2250.0 kJ/mol reacts, we perform this calculation:
comb
-2250.0 kJ
x kJ
-2250.0 kJ
OR 0.250 mol
1mol
0.250 mol
1mol
Why can't we simply say that the energy of the reaction is -2250.0 kJ?
