problems with Hess's Law
« on: November 11, 2007, 03:50:39 PM »
i have an assignment, and one of the questions is:

Reaction 3-The molar heat of formation of H2O (l) is -285.8 kJ/mol

from this reaction, calculate the heat of reaction.

i know i should know how to do it, but it is confusing the heck out of me. thanks.

okay, well the molar heat of formation is -285.8 kJ/mol

that means 1 mol of H2O gives this heat

for your equan which gives 2 moles, how much heat?
