Summary
This video explains how to calculate the reaction heat of a chemical reaction using standard formation enthalpies found in Binas table 57 A and B.
Key Points
- —Before calculating reaction heat, it is essential to understand energy diagrams for exothermic and endothermic reactions and the concept of formation enthalpy.
- —A balanced chemical reaction equation is necessary to identify reactants and products and their stoichiometric coefficients.
- —The reaction heat is calculated by subtracting the total energy level of the reactants from the total energy level of the products (ΔrH° = ΣΔfH°(products) - ΣΔfH°(reactants)).
- —The energy levels of reactants and products are determined by summing their respective standard formation enthalpies, which are found in Binas table 57 A for inorganic substances and 57 B for organic substances.
- —Elements in their standard state, such as O2, have a formation enthalpy of zero and do not contribute to the energy level calculation.
- —To calculate the total energy level for either reactants or products, multiply each substance's formation enthalpy by its stoichiometric coefficient from the balanced equation and then sum these values.
- —Careful attention must be paid to positive and negative signs and the use of parentheses during the calculation to ensure accuracy.
- —The initial calculated reaction heat is in Joules for the entire reaction as written; if the question specifies "per mol" of a particular substance, the total reaction heat must be divided by that substance's stoichiometric coefficient.
- —Practicing with various examples and exercises is highly recommended to master the calculation of reaction heat.
- —The video demonstrates the calculation process step-by-step using the combustion of H2S as an example.
