Chemical Reactions and Energy Reading

Every chemical reaction involves the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. Because of this, energy is an important aspect of these processes. This reading defines and describes enthalpy - the energy of chemical reactions.

Video: Heat of a Reaction

Here is an example of using [products - reactants] to find the heat of a reaction. Since enthalpy, entropy and free energy are all state functions, you can use this method to calculate these quantities for any reaction given the standard values.
