For many substances, the formation reaction may be considered as the sum of a number of simpler reactions, either real or fictitious. The enthalpy of reaction can then be analyzed by applying Hess' law, which states that the sum of the enthalpy changes for a number of individual reaction steps equals the enthalpy change of the overall reaction.
The ΔH° form undergoes discontinuities at a phase transition temperatures of the constituent element(s) and the compound. The enthalpy change for any standard reaction is designated ΔH° rx. Standard molar heat of formation of ZnBr 2 (c,l) from the elements, showing discontinuities at transition temperatures of the elements and the compound.
Note that the especially high molar values, as for paraffin, gasoline, water and ammonia, result from calculating specific heats in terms of moles of molecules. If specific heat is expressed per mole of atoms for these substances, none of the constant-volume values exceed, to any large extent, the theoretical Dulong–Petit limit of 25 J⋅mol ...

Heats of formation of unstable intermediates like CO (g) and NO (g). Heat changes in phase transitions and allotropic transitions. Lattice energies of ionic substances by constructing Born–Haber cycles if the electron affinity to form the anion is known, or; Electron affinities using a Born–Haber cycle with a theoretical lattice energy.
The specific heats of monatomic gases, such as helium, are nearly constant with temperature. Diatomic gases such as hydrogen display some temperature dependence, and triatomic gases (e.g., carbon dioxide) still more. Before the development of the laws of thermodynamics, heat was measured by changes in the states of the participating bodies.
The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows ("periods") and columns ("groups"). It is an icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences.
