Energy Balances on Reactive Systems

This lecture covers the energy balance on reactive processes, focusing on the enthalpy of reaction (AH) and its calculation. It explains the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions, as well as the methods used to solve energy balances in reactive systems. The instructor discusses the heat of reaction method and the heat of formation method, providing examples to illustrate their application. The lecture also delves into the general procedure for solving energy balances in reactive systems, emphasizing the importance of understanding the process, drawing flowcharts, and writing energy balance equations.
