Heat VS. Energy

[Sophia Diaz - Dis 1B]

So I'm still unclear as to what the difference between heat and energy/enthalpy is. I always sort of thought they were the same thing since adding heat to something increases energy. So by adding heat aren't you adding energy? Why aren't the terms interchangeable?

[Katie_Duong_1D]

I think of heat as a form of energy (thermal energy). However, energy can be more than just heat (e.g. work)

[Zenita Leang 2K]

The textbook defines heat as the energy that is transferred as a result of temperature differences, whereas enthalpy refers to heat transfer. Energy itself is the capacity of a system to do work.

[Andrew Bennecke]

Enthalpy is the overall change of energy within a system, while heat is the exchange of thermal energy that causes a temperature difference. Internal Energy (U) is the sum of all bonds and inter molecular relations within a system (Generally unable to be calculated), so we calculate the change in U with the heat absorbed/released by a system (q) and the work done onto/by the system (w). Delta U=q+w

[katie_sutton1B]

Energy is the ability of a system to do work and the change of energy, while heat is the energy being transferred.

heat=energy and enthalpy is the transfer of heat/energy
