Title: A Level guide for Standard Enthalpy Change
Description: Knowing the different terms for the different enthalpy changes is very important. Especially when the syllabus necessitates candidates to "explain and use the terms". This guide serves to deepen your understanding of each and every term used in energetics for enthalpy. Sample equations are also provided to contextualise the concepts.

Sample Equation

Signs of ∆H

Remarks

1

∆Hro

Overall based on
thermochemical eqn

2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (l)

+/–ve

∆Hr = ∑∆Hf of product –
∑∆Hf of reactant

2

∆Hno

Water formed after
neutralisation

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Always –ve

Formation of water

3

∆Hco

Compound before
burning

C3H6 (g) + 4 O2 (g) → 3CO2 (g) + 3H2O (l)

Usually –ve

Energy is usually
released during burning

Gaseous atoms formed
after atomisation

Cl2 (g) → Cl (g)

Always +ve

Breaking the bonds
between atoms

Gaseous compound
before atomisation

C2H6 (g) → 2C (g) + 6H (g)

Always +ve

Breaking bonds in the
compound

4

∆Hatomo

5

∆Hdissoo

Covalent bonds broken
during dissociation

CH4 (g) → CH3 (g) + H (g)
Number of C-H bonds broken

Always +ve

Breaking the bond
between atoms

6

I
...


Electrons removed from
gaseous atoms

Cl (g) → Cl+ (g) + e-

Always +ve

Overcome the attraction
of valence e- and nucleus

7

E
...


Electrons added to
gaseous atoms

O (g) + e- → O- (g)

1st: Always –ve
Usually +ve

e- forms bond with atom;
overcome e- repulsion

8

∆Hlatto

Ionic compound formed
from gaseous ions

Mg2+ (g) + 2Cl- (g) → MgCl2 (s)

Always –ve

Formation of bond
between ions

hydration

Na+ (g) + aq → Na+ (aq)

Always –ve

Formation of bond
between ion and water

10

∆Hsolo

Substance before
dissolving

MgCl2 (s) + aq → Mg2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq)

+/–ve

–ve → soluble
+ve → insoluble

11

∆Hfo

Compound formed from
K (s) + Cl2 (g) + O2 (g) → KClO3 (s)
+/–ve
∆Hfo of element = 0
constituent elements
PS: Unless the definition states that the particles are in its gaseous state, it will always be in its standard state
