This paper presents an interesting, practical exercise that is relevant to most students. It allows students to apply problem-solving skills and chemical principles such as writing balanced chemical equations, stoichiometry, the use of standard enthalpy of formation, and bond dissociation energies to determine the enthalpy of a chemical reaction.
