Heats of Reaction
By definition, the heat of reaction, r (T,P), is the enthalpy change for a
process in which stoichiometric quantities of reactants at temperature T
and pressure P react completely to form products at the same
temperature and pressure.
For the following reaction,
aA + bB cC + dD
r is calculated as the difference between the product and reactant
enthalpies (at constant T,P) which are weighted by their stoichiometric
coefficients. Therefore,
H (T , P) [kJ/mol] = H

The units of r are kJ/mol but, per mole of what?? Recall that the
reported r applies to stoichiometric quantities of each species. For
example,
2A + B 3C
r (100C, 1 atm) = -50 kJ/mol
the enthalpy change for the given reaction is

Calculate the rate of enthalpy change, H& (kJ/s) if 2400 mol/s of CO2 is
produced in this reaction and the reactants and products are all at 25C.
2. The heats of vapourization of n-butane and water at 25C are 19.2 kJ/mol
and 44.0 kJ/mol, respectively. What is the standard heat of the reaction

For example, from Table B.1 it can be seen that the H c of ethanol is

Example
Calculate the standard heat of reaction form the dehydrogenation of

Determining f from c
For many substances, it is much easier to measure H c than H f
For example, the formation of pentane:
H f = ?
Carbon, hydrogen and pentane can all be burned and their standard
heats of combustion determined experimentally. Therefore,
