Overview

Engineering reference data for Standard State Enthalpy Formation Definition Value Gibbs Free Energy Entropy Molar Heat Capacity in thermodynamics.

Key Formulas

First Law

ΔU=QW\Delta U = Q - W

Energy is conserved — heat added minus work done.

Ideal Gas Law

PV=nRTPV = nRT

Relates pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas.

Heat Transfer

Q=mcΔTQ = mc\Delta T

Sensible heat transfer.

Carnot Efficiency

η=1TC/TH\eta = 1 - T_C/T_H

Maximum efficiency between two temperatures.

Standard State Definitions

For thermodynamic calculations, substances must be referenced to specific standard states:

  • Gas: A pure gaseous substance as a (hypothetical) ideal gas at a pressure of exactly 1 bar
  • Solution: A concentration of exactly 1 M at an applied pressure of 1 bar, exhibiting infinite-dilution behavior
  • Condensed state (liquid or solid): The pure liquid or solid under 1 bar pressure
  • Element: The form in which the element exists (is most stable) under conditions of 1 bar and at the temperature of interest (usually 25°C)

Note: Standard state is NOT the same as standard temperature and pressure (STP) for a gas.

Key Properties of Standard Enthalpy of Formation

  • ΔH°f for an element in its standard state is zero
  • Elements in their standard states are not included in ΔHreaction calculations
  • Standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH°f) is defined as the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements with all substances in their standard states
