what is the standard formation of CaCO3
Introduction Heat of formation is the enthalpy change when one mole of product is formed from its constituent elements under standard conditions. The equation for the formation of calcium carbonate from its elements under standard conditions is Ca(s)+C (graphite)+O2 (g) CaCO3(s).HfO (CO2 (g)) = -393.5 kJ mol -1 ?HfO (H2O (l)) = -285.5 kJ mol -1 Heat of formation of calcium carbonate = ?H1 + ?Hf (CO2 (g)) +?Hf (H2O (l))- ?H2 = -421+(-393.5)+(-285.5)- (-17.6) = -1082.4 kJ mol -1 In order to achieve the answer, Hess's law is used.
