To place the H on the appropriate side of the equation:
1. IF the H is POSITIVE, then it gets placed on the REACTANTS side.
2. IF the H is NEGATIVE, then it gets placed on the PRODUCTS side.
Ex:
Fe O + 13 CO  2 Fe(CO) + 3 CO
2 3 (s) (g) H = - 386.2 kJ 5 (g) 2 (g)

Fe O 2 3 (s) + 13 CO  2 Fe(CO) (g) 5 (g) + 3 CO 2 (g) + 386.2 kJ

OR
2 Fe O 3 4 (s) + CO 2 (g)  3 Fe O 2 3 (s) + CO (g) H = 47.2 kJ
2 Fe O 3 4 (s) + CO 2 (g) + 47.2 kJ  3 Fe O 2 3 (s) + CO (g)

To determine the H for the reaction and identify if it is endothermic or exothermic:

1. IF the H is POSITIVE, then it is ENDOTHERMIC.
2. IF the H is NEGATIVE, then it is EXOTHERMIC.
Ex:
N H + O  N + 2H O + 622 kJ
2 4 2 2 2

H = -622 kJ, exothermic

OR
2ClF + 2NH + 1196 kJ  N + 6HF + Cl
3 3 2 2

H = 1196 kJ, endothermic

To find H:
1. Look at the COEFFICIENTS and the H for the FIRST equation given.
2. Look at the COEFFICIENTS for the SECOND equation. Figure out the difference between the two
coefficients and multiply OR divide by the difference.
Ex:
C H + 5/2 O  2 CO + H O + 1,585.7 kJ
2 2 (g) 2 (g) ΔH = - 1585.7 kJ
2 (g) 2 (l)

(THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EQUATIONS IS THE SECOND EQUATION IS MULTIPLIED BY A FACTOR
OF 2, SO MULTIPY THE ΔH BY 2)
2CH 2 2 (g) + 5O 2 (g)  4 CO 2 (g) + 2HO 2 (l) ΔH = -3171.4 kJ
