Title: Heat of reaction
Post by: nbhindi on August 27, 2011, 07:36:21 pm
Hey, I have a SAC coming up on calorimetry and I wasn't sure how to answer the following question:

CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) = Cu(s) + ZnSO4  DH= -210.6kJ/mol

Why does the DH value refer to mole of CuSO4 added rather than Zn?

Thanks!
