Hess' Law and Enthalpy Cycles in a Snap!

SnapRevise is the UK’s leading A-level and GCSE revision & exam preparation resource offering comprehensive video courses created by A* tutors. Our courses are designed around the OCR, AQA, SNAB, Edexcel B, WJEC, CIE and IAL exam boards, concisely covering all the important concepts required by each specification. In addition to all the content videos, our courses include hundreds of exam question videos, where we show you how to tackle questions and walk you through step by step how to score full marks.

Sign up today and together, let’s make A-level Chemistry a walk in the park!

The key points covered in this video include:
1. Hess’ Law
2. Enthalpy Cycles
a. Enthalpy Change of Combustion
b. Enthalpy Change of Formation

Hess’ Law

Germain Hess, a chemist and doctor, proposed Hess’ Law. Hess’ Law states that: The enthalpy change of reaction is independent of the route taken.

Enthalpy Cycles

The enthalpy change of a reaction cannot always be directly measured. We can use enthalpy cycles to help us to indirectly calculate the enthalpy change. An enthalpy cycle is a pictorial representation showing the alternative routes of reaction between reactants and products. Enthalpy cycles are triangular. In each corner there should be the same number of each atom. As well as energy, matter is also conserved. The sides of the triangle are arrows.

Enthalpy Cycle Example: Combustion

We can use the enthalpy changes of combustion to find the enthalpy change of the reaction. Carbon and Hydrogen can be combusted to form carbon dioxide and water. Benzene can be combusted to form carbon dioxide and water.

Enthalpy Cycle Example: Formation

We can use the enthalpy changes of formation to find the enthalpy change of the reaction. Nitrogen monoxide and oxygen can be made from nitrogen and oxygen, Nitrodgen dioxide can be formed from nitrogen and oxygen.

Summary

Hess' Law states that the enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the route taken
Enthalpy Cycles are a pictorial representation of the routes of reaction
a. Triangle shape
b. Chemicals are the corners of the triangle
c. Arrows are the sides
i. These show the direction of the chemical reaction

The first 5 minutes of this video explained it better than my teacher did in one hour.

Is it just me or did one part of the vid repeat itself

this amazing video helped me actually solve an enthalpy question!! it was only one mark but proudest moment of my life. Thank you so much!!!

16:56 there is a mistake as it should be 9N2 not 5N2 for the constituent elements

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I tried understanding this on my own for a few weeks to no avail, BUT NOW I CAN DO HESS CYCLE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, Truly.

(a) Under standard conditions
(b) Understand those conditions












It’s obvious but I wrote it anyway

Okay I'm probs just being really stupid but I cant work out for the life of me why at 12:07 ish she says she putting in arrows of combustion but she puts in arrows of formation when it says to uses enthalpy change of combustion? can someone help please?!

Excellent teaching style, I comprehended really well .

in combustion isnt the answer always supposed to be negative

17:33 why is it 5N2 I thought it’s supposed to be 9N2. Do we not count the nitrogen’s on the 4CH3NHNH2

How do i find the intermediate? I understand the rest its just that part that I'm confused on

this was so helpful definitely a walk in the park now

I still don't get how the arrows work
I thought combustion means arrow pointing downwards?
