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.
Spontaneous Combustion, Chemical Reactions and Fire. The results of chemical reactions that occur during spontaneous combustion are light and heat. Assuming a fuel is present, the heat is often enough to start a fire. Consider these examples: Spontaneous coal combustion: Coal can spontaneously combust if thereâs enough oxygen available and the heat produced by the coal is not dissipated fast enough. The vicious cycle causes thermal runaway and a fire starts.
