Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The enthalpy changeis to be calculatedwhen
Concept introduction:
The enthalpy of a reactionthat takes place under standard conditions is known as standard enthalpy of the reaction, that is, under room temperature and pressure
The standard enthalpy of a reaction is to be determined using the equation given below:
Here, the stoichiometric coefficients are represented by m for reactants and n for products, and enthalpy of formation under standard conditions is represented by
The standard enthalpy of formation of any element in its standard state, also known as the most stable state, is zero.
