Enthalpy Units
Since enthalpy is the amount of heat released or absorbed at a constant pressure, what are the units of measurement for this value? Is delta H always measured in Joules or are there other units as well?

Re: Enthalpy Units
Usually, enthalpy is given in Joules, but other units can be calories, kJ, kilocalories...

Re: Enthalpy Units
It is the variations of energy units. The SI unit is Joules. However, calories/kilocalories are also common and you can convert between Joules and calories.
Re: Enthalpy Units
The delta H of an equation is actually measured in energy per unit substance—usually kJ/mol or J/mol.
