NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
What is the standard molar enthalpy of formation?
Options
- AThe heat change when a compound is formed from its elements in their most stable states
- BThe heat change when a compound is dissolved in water
- CThe heat change when a compound is vaporized
- DThe heat change when a compound undergoes sublimation
Correct answer
A. The heat change when a compound is formed from its elements in their most stable states
Step-by-step solution
The standard molar enthalpy of formation is the heat change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their most stable states of aggregation.
