### change in entropy

When using delta S = q/t, why can we use change in enthalpy (delta H) over T as well? Also how do you just calculate delta H? The solutions manual is showing that you do the moles multiplied by another value that you look up, but I am not sure what the meaning of that value is. An example of what I am trying to ask is for 4F.13 in the textbook.

I don't know the first part to your question, but I do know the equation used to calculate enthalpy.

$\Delta H = m s\Delta T$

The Delta H = Change in Enthalpy

The m = mass

The s = heat

and the Delta T = the temperature change

You can us delta H instead of q because at constant pressure, q(p)= delta H

What is the significance of this notation? Would we be marked down for using q?
