    The document provides instructions for calculating the enthalpy change of a chemical reaction using known enthalpy values. The key steps are: 1) identify unique formulas among equations to place in the desired equation, 2) note the moles of reactants and products, 3) manipulate equations with known enthalpy values so reactants and products match the desired equation while adjusting enthalpy signs and multiplying by common factors, and 4) algebraically add the enthalpy values after cancelling common terms to obtain the final enthalpy change.

    Look for the formulas that appear only once among the
    equations and place it in the right place just as that in
    the desired equation.

    Note the number of moles of each reactant and


    products in the desired equation.

    Manipulate the equations with known ΔH values so that


    the number of moles of reactants and products are
    on the correct sides as in the desired equation. Do not
    forget to:
    • Change the sign of ΔH when the equation is reversed.
    • Multiply/divide the number of moles and ΔH by the
    same factor.

    Add the manipulated equations, cancelling terms that


    are common to both sides of the equation to obtain
    the desired equation. Algebraically add the ΔH values to
    get the final ΔH or change in enthalpy of the
    desired equation.
