The standard state of a substance is its most stable state at a pressure of
1 atmosphere and at a specified temperature usually taken at 298 K
It follows from the above definition that the standard enthalpy
of formation of an element in its most stable form is zero
The standard enthalpy of a reaction can be calculated from the standard
enthalpies of formation of the reactants and products
H Hofproducts Hofreactants
Enthalpy is measured in kJmol
