no idea :( Why is ΔHf for O2 equal to zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. Its internal energy is not equal to zero. B. It takes a finite amount of energy to form one mole of substance. C. It takes a finite amount of energy to produce O2. D. O2 is already in its standard state.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe D?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

You got it! :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Look at you go! hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha thanks!

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No worries

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is D? If the ΔH for H2O(l) → H2O(s) is -6.01 kJ, then what is the ΔH for 2H2O(s) → 2H2O(l)? A. 12.02 kJ B. 6.01 kJ C. -12.02 kJ D. -6.01 kJ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because Delta is still the same delta

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, to go from liquid to solid it releases energy, but going from solid to liquid it requires energy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i didnt even see the states

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Whenever you have an equation in reverse, you flip the sign of the energy required.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it, thanks!

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yeah, watch for that! No worries.
