HM09 ovember 2008 xample Multiple hoice Questions. Which statement correctly describes Hess's Law? The enthalpy of all reactants in their standard states is defined as zero. nthalpy changes may only be calculated if one or more of the reactants is an element. The enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the route taken. The enthalpy change of a reaction may only be calculated at atm pressure and 25. xothermic reactions occur quickly, endothermic reactions occur slowly. 2. Which one of the following statements best describes the standard enthalpy of formation of any element? The value of ΔH f (element) depends on temperature. The value of ΔH f (element) is zero only for elements in the solid state. The value of ΔH f (element) is zero for any element in the standard state. The value of ΔH f (element) is zero only at absolute zero temperature. The value of ΔH f (element) depends on S for that element. 3. Under which circumstances would a reaction be non-spontaneous at all temperatures? ΔH negative and ΔS positive ΔH negative and ΔS negative ΔH positive and ΔS negative ΔH positive and ΔS positive It is impossible to tell without calculating ΔG. 4.
