Question 1.
What does standard enthalpy change refer to?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the conditions where these measurements are taken.
Question 2.
Is enthalpy a state function?
Show hintHide hint
Consider properties that are independent of path.
3Question 3.
What does Hess's law state?
- The total enthalpy change for a reaction is path-dependent.
- The total enthalpy change for a reaction is the same irrespective of the path taken.
- Enthalpy is only applicable for gas-phase reactions.
