Heat and reaction enthalpy
q = mcΔT; ΔT = Tfinal − Tinitial.
Specific heat capacity of water: 4.18 J/(g·°C).
At constant pressure with only pressure-volume work, system heat equals its enthalpy change. For an insulated calorimeter with negligible cup heat capacity:
qreaction = −qsolution; ΔH = qreaction/nreaction.
ΔH°rxn = Σ ΔH°f(products) − Σ ΔH°f(reactants).
ΔH = Σ bonds broken − Σ bonds formed.
Every sum includes balanced coefficients. ΔH values in kJ/mol refer to one mole of reaction as written, unless a named substance is specified. Heat q is in J or kJ.
The standard enthalpy of formation of an element in its standard state is 0.

Standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K
| Species | ΔH°f (kJ/mol) |
|---|---|
| CH4(g) | −74.8 |
| CO2(g) | −393.5 |
| H2O(l) | −285.8 |
| H2O(g) | −241.8 |
| CaCO3(s) | −1206.9 |
| CaO(s) | −635.1 |
| O2(g), H2(g), N2(g), C(s, graphite) | 0 |
Phase changes of water
q = nΔHphase. Fusion: +6.01 kJ/mol. Vaporization: +40.7 kJ/mol.
Phase values apply at the normal melting and boiling points, respectively. They are not the difference between the 298 K gas and liquid formation values.
Keep extra digits in your work and round only the final answer. Use a + sign for heat entering the system and a − sign for heat leaving it.
