Enthalpy of Combustion of Propane from ∆Hfs - Short Method. From 20to9.com

Early experimental effort at providing home tuition in chemistry via YouTube.
Please visit 20to9.com for later efforts using a better video camera.
The short method is used to draw a Hess Cycle and calculate the enthalpy of combustion of propane from ∆Hf values.

Apologies for the poor quality of the video and the very basic form of presentation used. If it's a topic that's causing you difficulties, perhaps it will be of some help. Rgds FS

good video crappy cammra

life saver!!

This seems to be taking theory and testing it with nature. If it works, great, but if not, who cares? I suppose this makes sense chemists would do such things, after all we're dealing with volatile stuff a lot of the time. Trial and error, assumptions, and tests... this is math.

So you're using your own method to calculate the Enthalpy of Combustion ? Do we always have to reverse the sign? I dont 100 percent get it :(

awesome, thanks a lot!

you can also add the reaction of cellulose, hydrogen, to propane if you are venturious.

takes forever to explain

thanks this helped to clear this up in my mind a lot
