1. Correction for misconcept of above diagram :

Exothermic reaction

Enthalpy

reactants

products
Reaction pathway

Energy level diagram not energy profile diagram

Energy profile diagram.

2. For definition of standard enthalpy, insist state standard temperature,250C or 298 K and
pressure, 1 atm.
3. Have 9 enthalpy which are:
i. Enthalpy of formation (∆Hf)
ii. Enthalpy of combustion (ΔHoc)
iii. Enthalpy of atomization (ΔHoa)
iv. Enthalpy of neutralisation (ΔHoneutral)
v. Enthalpy of sublimation (ΔHosubl)
 vi. Enthalpy of hydration (ΔHohydrate)
vii. Enthalpy of solution (ΔHosoln)
viii. Ionization energy (IE)
ix. Electron affinity (EA)
x. Lattice Energy (ΔHLE)

4. Write the thermochemical equation:

Example : H2 (g) + ½ O2 (g) H2O (l) ∆H = -285.8 kJmol-1
Phase insist.
5. Unit insist for final answer
Heat release J or kJ
Standard enthalpy kJmol-1
