    Heat

    Glucose reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water: If the heats of formation of glucose, carbon dioxide, and water are -1273.3 kJ mol-1, -393.5 kJ mol-1, and -285.8 kJ mol-1, how many grams of glucose must react in order to release (1.00)(10^3) kJ of heat? What is the difference between bond energy, H minus the to

    Working with enthalpy of formation.

    The reaction of 4.49 g of carbon and 9.21 g of oxygen, produced carbon dioxide, and 113.2 kJ of heat. What is the enthalpy of formation of carbon dioxide?

    Thermal Properties of Copper
