Enthalpy and Heat
Can someone explain to me the difference between enthalpy and heat? Are they both transfer of heat?

Re: Enthalpy and Heat
heat is the energy transferred from high temperature to lower temperature whereas enthalpy is heat transfer at a constant pressure. The heat added or lost from system gives the change of enthalpy.

Re: Enthalpy and Heat
Heat is the form of energy transfer from a one temperature to another, like from hot to cold. Enthalpy is the heat transfer at a constant pressure. So the heat added or lost by the system is the enthalpy change.

Would constant pressure be the only necessary criteria for calculating enthalpy?
