Calculating/finding Enthalpy
« on: April 21, 2010, 08:33:07 AM »
Can I calculate  :delta:H at 0 K if i know it on 298 K? Or is it only experimentally found, so i should look it up from some kind of index.

The reaction is C + CO2 ::equil:: 2CO

Don't we assume every molecule to be perfectly rigid and stationary at 0K? In that case, there would be no collisions, and hence no reaction as well. So, :delta:H would be zero, right?
Please forgive me if I am wrong
