Imagine being able to use your computer to make phone calls with the help of special software and a microphoneâand bypassing your phone company and their charges.
So O2 has zero of heat of formation (or enthalpy of formation). The enthalpy of a reaction is defined like this: H = Hproducts-H reactants. The enthalpy of reaction in this case, is the same as the heat of combustion. Hproducts is obtained summing the heats of formation.
Q = m*s*dT, where Q = heat, m = mass, s = specific heat, and dT is the change in temperature (T2 - T1). You can use this formula to calculate the specific heat. In the case of gases, just replace the mass by moles of the gas.
