Imagine being able to use your computer to make phone calls with the help of special software and a microphoneâand bypassing your phone company and their charges.
So O2 has zero of heat of formation (or enthalpy of formation). The enthalpy of a reaction is defined like this: H = Hproducts-H reactants. The enthalpy of reaction in this case, is the same as the heat of combustion. Hproducts is obtained summing the heats of formation.
1 Determine the number of moles of ethanol combusted (number of moles = mass/FM), and divide the enthalpy change in kilojoules by this number to determine the experimental value of the molar heat of combustion of ethanol in kilojoules per mole.
