Standard enthalpy changes

Question	Answer
Standard conditions	1 atmosphere and 298K
Standard enthalpy change of reaction	The enthalpy change that accompanies a reaction in the molar quantities expressed in a chemical equation under standard conditions, all reactants and products being in their standard states
Standard enthalpy change of combustion	The enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions, all reactants and products being in their standard states
Standard enthalpy change of formation	The enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states under standard conditions
Standard state	The physical state of a substance under standard conditions
Moles(n)=	Mass(m) / Molar mass(M)
Bond enthalpy	The enthalpy change that takes place when breaking by homolytic fission 1 mole of a given bond in the molecules of a gaseous species
Average bond enthalpy	The average enthalpy change that takes place when breaking by homolytic fission 1 mole of a given type of bond in the molecules of a gaseous species
Hess' law states that	If a reaction can take place by more than one route and the initial and final conditions are the same, the total enthalpy change is the same for each route
