Six Methods for Estimating the Formation Enthalpy of Organic Compounds

Will Meyerriecks

ABSTRACT: Finding published enthalpy of formation values for organic compounds is not always possible. Six methods are outlined for estimating this property, each utilizing different data that is generally readily available in one form or another. Additionally, a dozen different references for published thermodynamic data are provided.

Keywords: enthalpy of formation, heat of combustion, higher heating value, HHV, Benson group, flame temperature, , free energy minimizatio
