Enthalpy of a reaction or energy change of a reaction D H, is the amount of energy or heat absorbed in a reaction. If the energy is required, D H is positive, and if energy is released, the D H, is negative.
The standard enthalpy of formation of a compound, , is the change in enthalpy for the reaction that forms 1 mol of the compound from its elements, with all substances in their standard states.or example, the standard enthalpy of formation for ethanol, C 2 H 5 OH, is the enthalpy change for the following reaction: [5.22]. The elemental source of oxygen is O 2, not O or O 3, because O 2 is the stable form of oxygen at 298 K and standard atmospheric pressure.
