Standard Enthalpies of Formation of Organic Compounds

 

The standard enthalpy of formation ΔΗ°f of a substance is the change in enthalpy for the reaction that forms 1 mol of the substance from its elements with all reactants and products at 1 atm pressure and usually 298.15 K. For any element in its most stable state at 298 K and 1 atm pressure, ΔΗ°f = 0. Standard enthalpies of formation of inorganic compounds were given in a previous post.
