Enthalpy of Formation. The (molar) enthalpy of formation is the heat released ( ) or absorbed ( ) in a chemical reaction at constant pressure when simple substances combine into a more complex substance. At standard conditions of pressure and temperature (1 atm and 298 K), it is denoted . For elements in their standard states, .
Several standard enthalpies of formation are given in Table 5.3. A more complete table is provided in Appendix C. By definition, the standard enthalpy of formation of the most stable form of any element is zero because there is no formation reaction needed when the element is already in its standard state.
