C
300
What is the sign of "delta H of vaporization" and how does its magnitude compare to "delta H of fusion" for a typical substance?
The sign is positive (endothermic) and it is generally greater than "delta H of fusion"
300

Ozone (O3)

400
How many moles of oxygen gas are required to completely burn 4 moles of methanol (CH3OH)?
2CH3OH + 3O2 gives 2CO2 + 4H2O 6moles of O2 are required

Al (dip after Mg)
400
How do you calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction, using the standard enthalpy change of formation of the reactants and products of the reaction?
Enthalpy change of reaction = sum of standard enthalpy change of formation of products - sum of standard enthalpy change of formation of reactants
400

A salt dissolves in water in a calorimeter and the forces formed are weaker than those broken. If the calorimeter does not insulate completely, how does the enthalpy change measured compare to the true enthalpy change for the dissolving? (give the sign of the enthalpy change and how the experimental value deviates from true)

The experimental enthalpy change is positive and smaller in magnitude than the true value
