AI Thread Summary
The formula for calculating enthalpy change is H = mc(Δt), where Δt represents the change in temperature (t2 - t1). Molar enthalpy change can be expressed as H = (mct)/n, with 'n' being the number of moles. It's important to use the temperature change rather than the final temperature in the enthalpy change calculation. This clarification ensures accurate calculations in thermodynamic processes. Understanding these formulas is essential for mastering enthalpy concepts in chemistry.

Im in a gr 12 chemistry course this is a pretty basic question.

What is the formula for calculating enthalpy change and molar enthalpy change? i know the molar enthalpy change is H=(mct)/n

would the enthalpy change just be H=mct?

The read indicates that you almost have it. Without actually my rechecking in a textbook, you would want change in t, not simply t. H = mc(t2-t1)
 
Thanks

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
