By convention, the (higher) heat of combustion is defined to be the heat released for the complete combustion of a compound in its standard state to form stable products in their standard states: hydrogen is converted to water (in its liquid state), carbon is converted to carbon dioxide gas, and nitrogen is converted to nitrogen gas.
For instance, carbon and hydrogen will not directly react to form methane (CH 4), so that the standard enthalpy of formation cannot be measured directly. However the standard enthalpy of combustion is readily measurable using bomb calorimetry. The standard enthalpy of formation is then determined using Hess's law. The combustion of methane:
Standard enthalpy of combustion is the enthalpy change when one mole of an organic compound reacts with molecular oxygen (O 2) to form carbon dioxide and liquid water. For example, the standard enthalpy of combustion of ethane gas refers to the reaction C 2 H 6 (g) + (7/2) O 2 (g) → 2 CO 2 (g) + 3 H 2 O (l).
The equation parameters and all other information required to calculate values of the important thermodynamic functions are stored in a thermodynamic datafile. The values are organized in a format that makes them readable by a thermodynamic calculation program or for use in a spreadsheet.

The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a chemical reaction is independent of the sequence of steps taken. [2] [3] Hess's law is now understood as an expression of the fact that the enthalpy of a chemical process is independent of the path taken from the initial to the final state (i.e. enthalpy is a state ...
From the equation, the activation energy can be found through the relation = / () where A is the pre-exponential factor for the reaction, R is the universal gas constant , T is the absolute temperature (usually in kelvins ), and k is the reaction rate coefficient .
