  • Standard enthalpy change of combustion, ΔHc
    The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states.
  • Standard enthalpy change of formation, ΔHf

    The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states.
  • Standard enthalpy change of neutralisation, ΔHn
    The enthalpy change that accompanies the reaction of an acid by a base to form one mole of H2O, under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states.
  • Standard enthalpy change of reaction, ΔHr
    The enthalpy change that accompanies a reaction in the molar quantities shown in a chemical equation under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states.
