What is using enthalpies of formation?
Show answer
The standard enthalpy of formation ΔHf\Delta H_f^\circ is the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound forms from its elements in their standard states. Elements in their standard state have ΔHf=0\Delta H_f^\circ = 0. For any reaction:
What are using bond enthalpies?
Show answer
A reaction breaks bonds in the reactants (requiring energy in) and makes bonds in the products (releasing energy). The estimated enthalpy change is:
