Phase Changes

Postby Vuong_2F » Sun Jan 26, 2020 8:01 pm

For reactions where substances are not in their most stable/standard phase, how would you account for that when calculating enthalpies?

If the substance is not in the most stable/standard phases then you must use the total of the enthalpy of the phase change and the bond enthalpy when calculating.

When the substance is not in its standard state at the given temperature, you have to add the enthalpy of its phase changes. For example if its a gas in its standard state and is currently a solid, you would have to add the enthalpy of its sublimation.

Yes, as the previous response said, you must add the enthalpy of the phase change.

Add the enthalpy of the phase change.

You should calculate the enthalpy, then add the enthalpy of the phase change.

The proper method is to calculate the enthalpy, then add the enthalpy of the phase change.

To accommodate for the phase change of the material, add the reaction enthalpy of the phase change onto the reaction.
