单词 Hess’s law
释义
Hess’s law

Physics
  • If reactants can be converted into products by a series of reactions, the sum of the heats of these reactions (with due regard to their sign) is equal to the heat of reaction for direct conversion from reactants to products. More generally, the overall energy change in going from reactants to products does not depend on the route taken. The law can be used to obtain thermodynamic data that cannot be measured directly. For example, the heat of formation of ethane can be found by considering the reaction:

    2C(s)+3H2(g)+3½O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)

    The heat of this reaction is 2Δ‎HC+3Δ‎HH, where Δ‎HC and Δ‎HH are the heats of combustion of carbon and hydrogen respectively, which can be measured. By Hess’s law, this is equal to the sum of the energies for two stages:

    2C(s)+3H2(g)C2H6(g)

    (the heat of formation of ethane, Δ‎Hf) and

    C2H6(g)+3½O22CO2(g)+3H2O(l)

    (the heat of combustion of ethane, Δ‎HE). As Δ‎HE can be measured and as

    ΔHf+ΔHE=2ΔHc+3ΔHH

    Δ‎Hf can be found. Another example is the use of the Born–Haber cycle to obtain lattice energies. The law was first put forward in 1840 by the Russian chemist Germain Henri Hess (1802–50). It is sometimes called the law of constant heat summation and is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy.

Chemical Engineering
  • A law that states that the total heat resulting from a chemical reaction is dependent only on the initial and final states of the reactants and is independent of the reaction route. It is the essential basis of calculations in thermochemistry and has both experimental and theoretical justification. The law is an aspect of the general law of conservation or the first law of thermodynamics. For example, the chemical route of converting calcium oxide (CaO) to calcium chloride (CaCl2) follows the two routes:

    CaO(s)      +2HCl(aq)CaCl2(aq)+H2O(l)ΔH1=192.5 kJ                 +H2O(l)ΔH2=63 kJ+2HCl(aq) ΔH4=117 kJ                 Ca(OH)2(s)               +H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)          ΔH3= 12.5 kJΔH1=ΔH2+ΔH3+ ΔH4

    The law is named after Swiss-Russian chemist Germain Henri Hess (1802–50) who pioneered thermochemistry.
