Question 1

Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change is dependent on:

  • The pathway taken
  • The initial and final states
  • The temperature

💡 Hint: Remember, it's all about the start and finish!

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the enthalpy changes for the following reactions: 1) C + O₂ → CO₂, ΔH = -393.5 kJ; 2) CO + ½O₂ → CO₂, ΔH = -283.0 kJ, calculate the ΔH for the reaction C + ½O₂ → CO.

💡 Hint: Pay close attention to the coefficients and how they affect enthalpy.

Question 2

If you find the ΔH for the formation of a compound from its elements is unknown, how would you use Hess's Law to find it?

💡 Hint: Look for routes that include your desired reactants and products.
