1. Which of the following statements best defines the standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH°f)?
The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states.
The enthalpy change when a compound is decomposed into its elements.
The total enthalpy of a compound at standard conditions.
The heat released during a combustion reaction.
2. The standard enthalpy of formation for any element in its most stable allotropic form at standard conditions is defined as .
3. Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is of the pathway taken.
4. Explain why the standard enthalpy of formation is a useful concept in thermochemistry.
5. An exothermic reaction has a positive enthalpy change (ΔH > 0).
True
False
6. Using the following standard enthalpies of formation, calculate the enthalpy change (ΔH°) for the reaction: 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)
Given:
ΔH°f [SO₂(g)] = -296.8 kJ/mol
ΔH°f [SO₃(g)] = -395.7 kJ/mol
7. Analyze the energy diagram below and determine if the reaction represented is exothermic or endothermic. Explain your reasoning.
