Hello all
Let's say we are given:
[tex]CH_4 + 2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O[/tex]
We want to find [tex] \Delta_H [/tex] for the entire reaction.
Would I just use the formula:
[tex] \sum _i \Delta_H_i - \sum _j \Delta_H_j [/tex]? In other words just look up enthalpies in book and subtract enthalpy of reactants from enthalpy of products?
Thanks
