In a thermodynamic process named for Bordwell, a law analogous to this law can be used to determine unknown and experimentally inaccessible values for Gibbs Free Energy changes in chemical reactions.
In a thermodynamic process named for Bordwell, a law analogous to this law can be used to determine unknown and experimentally inaccessible values for Gibbs Free Energy changes in chemical reactions. Lattice energies are commonly calculated using this law in a process that uses ionization energies, vaporization enthalpies, and electron affinities; that is the Born-Haber cycle. A consequence of this law is that the line integral around any path in the state space of enthalpy is zero. Another consequence is that the enthalpy change of a reverse process is equal to the negative of the enthalpy change of a forward process. For 10 points, name this law that states that enthalpy is a state function.
