Delta Hº versus delta H
In lecture, Prof Lavelle alternates between delta H and delta Hº. Is there a difference between the two? If there is, I which situation should I use which symbol?

Re: Delta Hº versus delta H
Delta H is just the difference between the final and initial values of H. Delta Hº is the value of the difference between the final and initial values of H when the products and reactions are at standard conditions.

Re: Delta Hº versus delta H
deltaH^0 refers to the standard reaction enthalpy (the rxn enthalpy when all R and P are in their standard state). DeltaH is the general symbol for the amount of heat absorbed or released. There is also deltaHf^0 which refers to the Standard Enthalpy of Formation (the standard rxn enthalpy for the formation of 1 mol of a substance).

Re: Delta Hº versus delta H
Delta H naught is just delta H in standard/ideal conditions. You use them the same but one is for standard conditions.
