QUESTION:

Use tabulated values of standard enthalpies of formation to calculate the enthalpy change accompanying the reaction 4Al(s) + 6H2O(l) 2Al2O3(s) + 6H2(g). Is the reaction exothermic?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

Among several reactions, some of them take up energy, whereas several other reactions involve energy evolution. So a change in enthalpy is experienced during a reaction. This enthalpy change is termed the enthalpy of a reaction.

Standard enthalpy of formation constitutes the enthalpy change when a mole of a particular substance is generated from its elements. The temperature at this state is 298.15 K, and pressure is 1 atm.
