H(2) = - 2219 kJ
H
Any thermodynamic function referring to
standard conditions is identified by
Calculating U from H
Reaction between N2 and H2 at P = 40 atm and V 1.12 L
J 1kJ
Latm 1000J
U > H
Internal energy change is less negative by amount of work
done by surroundings on compressing system
Heat of reaction
Enthalpy change for a reaction is commonly known
as heat of reaction
Exothermic refers to reaction where heat is given out
by system (we warm our hands): H < 0
Endothermic refers to reaction where heat is
absorbed by system and surroundings get cool
(hands get cold): H > 0
NOTE SIGNS OF H!
Calculations with H
H may be quoted for a given equation
or for one mole of a reactant or product
Either way, it can be used to calculate
the heat change for a given amount of
substance
Example
What is the heat evolved from the
combustion of 15.5 g of C3H8?
C3 H 8 ( g ) 5O2 ( g ) 3CO2 ( g ) 4 H 2O(l )...H 2219kJ / mol

Consider reaction:
CH 4 ( g ) 3Cl 2 ( g ) CHCl 3 ( g ) 3HCl ( g )
On reactant side:
3 C-H bonds and 3 Cl-Cl bonds are broken
On product side:
3 C-Cl bonds and 3 H-Cl bonds are made
Reaction is exothermic
H-Cl bond is much stronger than Cl-Cl
