What is the enthalpy change of reaction for this reaction?
#2"A" + B rightleftharpoons 2"C" + 2"D"#
Hess' Law states that the enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the path taken by the reaction.
In your case, you have
Now, the standard enthalpy change of reaction can be calculated by taking the sum of the enthalpy changes of formation of the products multiplied by their respective stoichiometric coefficients and the sum of the enthalpy changes of formation of the reactants multiplied by their respective stoichiometric coefficients.
Here
So, you know that you have
You can say that for the products, you have
Similarly, you can say that for the reactants', you have
Therefore, you can say that the standard enthalpy change of reaction is equal to
The answer is rounded to three sig figs.

To determine the enthalpy change of reaction, you need to calculate the difference between the enthalpies of the products and reactants. This can be done using Hess's law or by directly measuring the heat released or absorbed during the reaction under constant pressure conditions.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
