standardbildningsentalpi

Standardbildningsentalpi is a Swedish term that translates to "standard enthalpy of formation" in English. It is a measure of the enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of a substance is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states.

In thermodynamics, enthalpy (H) is a measure of the total energy of a system, including internal energy and the energy associated with the pressure and volume of a system. Standard enthalpy of formation is the enthalpy change that occurs when a substance is formed from its constituent elements at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

The standard enthalpy of formation is typically denoted by the symbol ΔHf or ΔH°f, and is usually expressed in units of kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol). The standard enthalpy of formation can be either positive or negative, depending on whether the formation of the substance releases or absorbs heat.

The standard enthalpy of formation is an important thermodynamic property that is used to calculate the energy changes that occur during chemical reactions. It is also used to determine the stability of a substance and its potential reactivity with other substances.

The values of standard enthalpy of formation can be obtained from tables or calculated using thermodynamic equations. These values are sensitive to the specific conditions and elements involved in the reaction, and are typically experimentally determined under precise conditions of temperature and pressure.

Researchers in various fields such as chemistry, physics, and materials science rely on the standard enthalpy of formation as a fundamental property to describe and predict the behavior of substances.
