The enthalpy change of a reaction which involves the formation of an atom from its elements at S.T.P is called as?

Correct answer: A. Enthalpy of formation

  • A. Enthalpy of formation
  • B. Enthalpy of combustion
  • C. Enthalpy of neutralization
  • D. Enthalpy of sublimation

Explanation

The enthalpy of formation is the standard reaction enthalpy for the formation of the compound from its elements (atoms or molecules) in their most stable reference states at the chosen temperature (298.15K) and 1 bar pressure.

About Enthalpy

Enthalpy is the heat content of a system measured at constant pressure, and its change indicates whether a reaction or physical process is endothermic or exothermic. The topic covers state functions, enthalpy diagrams, standard enthalpy of formation, combustion and neutralisation, and the relationship between ΔH and internal energy change.
