Heat of Formation Practice

Enthalpy of formation is designated with a subscript (a)   .

What does constituent mean related to heat of formation?

• the compound itself

• a substance that is in its natural state already

• the elements that make up a compound

• the compound is a solid

A substance has a standard heat of formation of 0 kJ/mol. What does this mean?

• the substance has only single bonds in it

• the substance is already in its natural form

• the substance does not need to be formed from constituents

• two of these are correct

To calculate the heat of formation for an overall reaction you will...

• subtract reactants from products

• subtract products from reactants

• subtract bonds formed from bonds broken

• all of these are correct
