Your supervisor asks you to determine the enthalpy of a certain chemical reaction. Which would you do?
(A)Measure the ΔS and the ΔG for the reaction, and calculate the ΔH from the Gibbs free energy equation. (B)Use a bomb calorimeter to measure the heat of the reaction. (C)Use a solution calorimeter such as a coffee-cup calorimeter to measure the heat. (D)Use a photoelectron spectrometer to measure the energies of all atoms in the compounds, and use Hess's law to add them.
