Ways to Calculate ΔHrxn (kJ/mol)
Name | Specific Heat | Dimensional Analysis | Hess's Law | ΔHf | Bond Enthalpy | Enthalpy of Phase Change | ΔG=ΔH-TΔS |
When would you use |
-solutions being added together in a cup -solid being put into solution |
when given balanced equation with enthalpy of reaction and mass or moles | two or more equations are given with known ΔHrxn and an additional equation is given with an unknown ΔHrxn | given ΔHf for products and reactants | given bond enthalpies | ||
How would use | q=mcΔT, solve for q then convert joules to kJ then find moles and divide kJ/mol | set up to cancel units, covert from mass to moles to kJ. | modify known equations so that when they are added together they equal the unknown equation, do what ever you did to the known equations to the ΔHrxn for those equations and then add | calculate sum of product-sum of reactants, be sure to included coefficients from balanced equation by multiplying them by the ΔHf | sum of
broken bonds minus som of formed bonds -can either calculate by breaking all bonds and forming all new bonds or looking at reactants and product to figure out just which bonds actually were broken and which were formed. |
