Each chemical reaction has its own enthalpy change

∆H depends on:
-the reaction (products and reactants)
-the coefficients of the balanced equation

Example

N2(g) + 3 H2(g) --> 2 NH3(g) ∆H = -90 kJ

2 N2(g) + 6 H2(g) --> 4 NH3(g) ∆H =

An Analogy....

A family of four wants to take a plane ride from Edmonton to


Vancouver. Each ticket costs $200. The total cost of the
trip for the family will be $800.

Stoichiometry  and  Enthalpy  Changes

The  amount  of  energy  released  from  a  chemical  reaction  


is  affected  to  the  number  of  moles  of  reactant  or  product.    

If  given  the  mass  of  reactant  or  product,  the  enthalpy    


change  (∆H  in  kJ)  can  be  determined  from  the  molar  
enthalpy  value  for  the  reactant  or  product.
