Re: Hess' Law & Standard enthalpy subtr. 7.13A Self-test
When you flip the second equation, you change the sign of the change in enthalpy This occurs when you're trying to cancel out components that are not in the final equation (when it's in the product of one eq and reactant of another in equal quantities), and when you're trying to get the component in...

Re: Question 7.59
The combustion of graphite -> -393.51 kJ/mol The combustion of diamond -> -395.41 kJ/mol But since you want to create diamond from graphite, the formation of diamond -> +395.41 kJ/mol So it's -393.51 + 395.41 Another way of looking at it is that diamond is less stable and has more energy than graphi...

Re: Question 7.27, Gas constant temperature units
Celsius and Kelvin go by the same increments though, so the change in temperature should be the same regardless of your unit.
Could you post your calculations?

Re: Standard enthalpy of Zn(s)
Zinc is oxidized by HCl so the equation is as follows: 2 HCl (aq) + Zn (s) -> H2 (g) + ZnCl2 (aq), in which ZnCl2 is essentially Zn2+ and 2 Cl- And according to the appendix, the enthalpy of formation for Zn2+ is -153.89 kj/mol Edit: to elaborate, here are the calculations http://i.imgur.com/00Ipaq4...

Re: Why E=0 for isothermal processes?
I'm still somewhat confused. Reversible, isothermal expansion of an ideal gas does work (pages 244-245 in the textbook). If the system does work, doesn't its internal energy change since change in U = q + w? However, internal energy is a state function, and if the temperature does not change, the to...
