Calculating Reaction Enthalpies and Gibbs Free Energy

To calculate the sum of all reaction enthalpies, divide the enthalpy of the intermediate reaction in Chapter B at the same temperature, calculate each value individually, and then total them; lattice enthalpy refers to the enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic compound dissociates into its gaseous state, and for a process to be spontaneous, the Gibbs free energy value must be less than zero, predicting the spontaneity of a chemical reaction and the useful work that could be extracted from it, with the formula delta g = -2.303 rt0 = delta h - t delta a being crucial.
