    Thank you very much for your video tutorial. I have a couple of questions, why do you use H(c) when explaining the formation of the hess cycle, and during the combustion you use H(f). is it correct? we were taught that enthalpy change formation is H(f), and combustion is H(c)

  • @Chemistorian

    @Chemistorian

    6 ай бұрын

    During the enthalpy of formation example, we have been given enthalpies of formation, and we use them to construct a FORMATION Hess cycle, in order to work out the enthalpy of combustion of methane. That reaction at the top could have been anything, but in this case, it shows the enthalpy of combustion of methane. We still construct a FORMATION Hess cycle here, because we've been given values of Hf, NOT Hc. For the second example, it's just the other way around. We've been given Hc values, so we construct a COMBUSTION Hess cycle to work out the enthalpy change for the reaction at the top, which happens to be the formation of benzene. So in the first example, we're using enthalpies of formation to work out the enthalpy of combustion of methane, and in the second example, we're using enthalpies of combustion to work out the enthalpy of formation of benzene.

    There is no “biggest route”. Hess’s law states that as long as you start at the same place and end at the same place, any route you take will have the exact same enthalpy change. So, you can take any route you want!

    I still can't wrap my brain around the difference btwn q and H. Help! Is it that heat is transfer of energy btwn moleculesand H iis overall gain or loss of heat energy?

  • @Chemistorian

    @Chemistorian

    8 ай бұрын

    When in doubt, check the units! Q is measured in J or kJ, so it’s just the amount of heat energy taken in/given out during a reaction. H is measured in kJ/mol, so it’s the amount of heat energy taken in/given out during a reaction, PER MOLE of reactant.

    I still don't understand how you determine the direction the hess cycles arrows go

  • @Chemistorian

    @Chemistorian

    11 ай бұрын

    It all depends on the type of Hess cycle. If it uses formation enthalpies, arrows go up from the box because the formation enthalpy is always going from the elements to the compounds. If it uses combustion enthalpies, arrows go down to the box because the combustion enthalpy is always going from the compounds to the combustion products. When you learn the definitions of the enthalpy changes, the directions of the arrows make sense logically.
