General Chemistry | Enthalpy of Reaction (ΔH_rxn) [Example 1]

In this video, Kevin Tokoph from Catalyst University explains how to calculate the enthalpy of reaction (delta H) using an example of glucose combustion. He discusses the importance of knowing the heats of formation for each species involved and explains the concept of standard states. The video provides a detailed calculation process, emphasizing the need to correctly handle coefficients and signs. The video concludes with a reminder to look up necessary data and a preview of future topics, including Hess's law.
