Chapter Name : Thermodynamics
Sub Topic Code : 102_11_06_04_04
Topic Name : Enthalpy Change ∆H Of A Reaction - Reaction Enthalpy
Sub Topic Name : Standard Enthalpy Of Formation
Introduction

·         The standard enthalpy of formation is a measure of the energy released or consumed when one mole of a substance is created under standard conditions from its stable elements.

·          An element is said to be most stable at standard conditions of 298 K and 1 bar.

·          The standard enthalpy of formation of stable elements is zero.

Pre-Requisites:

 ·         Thermodynamic terms

·         The state of a system

·         Enthalpy

Activity:

Sugar has a different energy value. When its mixed with water, the enthalpy changes and the final enthalpy of formation of sugar water is different.

Real Life Question:

What is the enthalpy change associated with a formation reaction? 

Key Words / FlashCards
Key Words Definitions (pref. in our own words)
Enthalpy It is same as energy at low and moderate pressure
Standard enthalpy of formation The standard enthalpy change for the formation of one mole of a compound from its stable elements is called Standard Molar Enthalpy of Formation. It is represented as ?fH?
Reference state of element The standard enthalpy change for the formation of An element is said to be in reference state at standard conditions of 298 K temperature and 1 bar pressure.
