does anybody here know anything about

Hesses Law or Standard Enthalpies of Formation?

i have a major chemistry test tommorow and i'm bad at hesses law and unsure about SEF.


thanks.


(PS i had no idea where to put this so i guessed. move it if i guessed wrong. thanks)

Should've studied. By the way, it's Hess's Law. If you have to take it tomorrow, you're not going to have much time, so I'm going to wiki you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hess%27_law
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_e … _formation

You're probably not going to ace it, but you can always do better on the next tests.

Education counts as serious talk, so you've definately posted in the right place, since 'Not BF2S, Not BF2' was renamed 'Junk Drawer.'

The scary thing is, I don't know.  I just suck at physics for some reason...........

On the bright side, for the mid-year exam I got a B+, which is funny since I've damn near failed everything else...........

At least you know what subject you're in. If you take physics further (degree level) you start to see the merging between chemistry and physics until they are effectively the same subject. That's when it gets spooky.

If you have anything in particular you don't grasp just give us a shout and I'm sure between us we can explain it in plain english. The thing with physics is that generally the concept of something is very easy to understand but it's hidden by all the sciency bollocks.

That's the one thing I've always found annoying about school math and chemistry books; they're so preachy that they're not easily accessable to the beginner. There are hundreds of items available over Amazon that are worlds more helpful than the meandering chapters you usually encounter. Then again, math and chemistry are such in-depth subjects that I believe a single class should last the entire school day for immersion value. I can't tell how many times the bell rang just when things were starting to get interesting.
