A

NO MATTER OR ENERGY CAN BE EXCHABGED

Heat energy can be transferred in and out

19
Q

21
Q

For heat of formation, when balancing the equation do you try to increase the product to match the reactant or use fractions
Ex 2H2 + O2 —-> 2H2O
. Or
H2 + 1/2O2 ——> H2O

A

Use fractions! Remember we can only use one mole of the substance so don’t be afraid to use fractions
