The experimental dissociation energies of 19 diatomic intermetallic molecules with multiple bonds are compared with the corresponding values calculated by a previously proposed empirical valence bond model. The limitations of the model are discussed. Apparent discrepancies between experimental and calculated ...
Hess's Law says the totalenthalpy changedoes not rely on the path taken from beginning to end. Enthalpy can be calculated in one grand step or multiple smaller steps. To solve this type of problem, organize the givenchemical reactionswhere the total effect yields the reaction needed. There ar...
This is why the four amyl alcohols can have almost the same combustion enthalpy but very different flash points. When they are in the gas phase, the differences between these alcohols are very subtle, at least as far as structural energies are concerned, but in the liquid phase the position ...
