  2. Hess's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hess's_law

    If the net enthalpy change is negative (<), the reaction is exothermic and is more likely to be spontaneous; positive ΔH values correspond to endothermic reactions. (Entropy also plays an important role in determining spontaneity, as some reactions with a positive enthalpy change are nevertheless spontaneous due to an entropy increase in the ...

  3. Enthalpy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy

    In thermodynamics, enthalpy ( / ˈɛnθəlpi / ⓘ) is the sum of a thermodynamic system 's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume. [1] It is a state function used in many measurements in chemical, biological, and physical systems at a constant external pressure, which is conveniently provided by the large ambient atmosphere.

  4. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    This change in enthalpy can be positive or negative, leading to two major forms of the Van 't Hoff plot. Endothermic reactions Van 't Hoff plot for an endothermic reaction. For an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed, making the net enthalpy change positive. Thus, according to the definition of the slope:

  5. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    There are two kinds of enthalpy of combustion, called high (er) and low (er) heat (ing) value, depending on how much the products are allowed to cool and whether compounds like H. 2O are allowed to condense. The high heat values are conventionally measured with a bomb calorimeter. Low heat values are calculated from high heat value test data.

  6. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    The net work equals the area inside because it is (a) the Riemann sum of work done on the substance due to expansion, minus (b) the work done to re-compress. Because the net variation in state properties during a thermodynamic cycle is zero, it forms a closed loop on a PV diagram. A PV diagram's Y axis shows pressure (P) and X axis shows volume ...

  7. Exothermic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction

    Exothermic reaction. The reaction is famously exothermic. The reduction of iron (III) oxide by releases sufficient heat to yield molten iron. In thermochemistry, an exothermic reaction is a "reaction for which the overall standard enthalpy change Δ H ⚬ is negative." [1] [2] Exothermic reactions usually release heat.

  8. Standard enthalpy of formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_enthalpy_of_formation

    In chemistry and thermodynamics, the standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation of a compound is the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements in their reference state, with all substances in their standard states. The standard pressure value p⦵ = 105 Pa (= 100 kPa = 1 ...
