Enthalpy of Formation Data

Standard enthalpies of formation are required in order to calculate the enthalpies of key reactions in cement kilns, and to calculate overall theoretical energy requirements. The values of standard enthalpy of formation from the elements in their standard states are in kJ/mol, in the standard state 298.15 K and 101325 Pa.
