    This project was preformed to supply Libretext Authors with videos on General Chemistry topics which can be used to enhance their projects.  Also, these videos are meant to act as a learning resource for all General Chemistry students.

    The enthalpy of an unknown reaction can be found using the equation: ΔH° = Sum of VΔHf°(product) - Sum of VΔHf°(reactants). ΔHf is the enthalpy of formation for a given species. V is the stoichiometric coefficient of the species from the balanced reaction. Remember that ΔHf° = 0 for elements in their reference states. This video contains a sample problem, which involves these concepts.
