(CO 2(g) + 2 H 2 O (g) ) – (CH 4(g) + 2 O 2(g) ) = Δ Hįill in the numbers for this specific equation. Modify the Δ H equation for this chemical equation. What is the energy of the molecules of the reactants?ĭo any of the molecules in the reactants have any coefficients?Īnswer: Energy of products – Energy of reactants = Δ H What is the energy of the molecules of the products?Īnswer: CO 2(g) = -394 kJ/mol H 2 O (g) = -242 kJ/molĭo any of the molecules in the products have any coefficients?Īnswer: Yes, H 2 O (g) 2 H 2 O (g) = 2 * (-242 kJ/mol) (Use this link look up the Δ H f values)ĬH 4(g) + 2 O 2(g) -> CO 2(g) + 2 H 2 O (g) VIDEO Calculate Δ H (DELTA H) Demonstrated Example 1 : Use the balanced chemical equation below and calculate its Δ H. If you want to find it in a chemistry text b ook, the n it will usually be in the very back of the book in the index section. REMEMBER to make sure the chemicals you look up also have the correct states of matter. It is referred to in chemistry as the Δ H f or the ENTHALPY OF FORMATION. Where do we get the energy of the individual chemicals? Here is a link to the place where you find the enthalpy (energy) of each chemical. You can also find tables where you can look up the energy of different chemicals. Just like you would read the amount of calories off the back of a food label. The formula is below.Įnergy of products – Energy of reactants = Δ Hīut how do we count the energy of the products or the energy of the reactants? It turns out that each chemical has an energy associated with it. Another way to say that is FINISH – START or PRODUCTS – REACTANTS.
Any time you are calculating the Δ of something it is always FINAL – INITIAL. It is calculated by the total energy contained in the molecules of products minus the total energy of the molecules in the reactants. Once you memorized the relationship between the side the energy is on in a chemical equation, the Δ H and endothermic or exothermic, you are probably curious about how Δ H is calculated.
