Enthalpy
Does enthalpy have to do with the release or absorption of just heat or does it include energy as well? Thanks!

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy is used to describe a system and refers to the total heat content of the system. This includes the internal energy of the system with respect to the pressure and volume. Enthalpy is usually measured with heat because heat is a type of energy used in various systems.
Hope that helps!

Re: Enthalpy
Generally, change in enthalpy is equal to change in internal energy of the system + P * delta V. In other words, if the reaction does not undergo expansion, then change in enthalpy is equal to change in internal energy. If the system underwent expansion (positive delta V), then change in enthalpy is greater than change in internal energy. In other words, you would have to input more heat in order to change the internal energy of a system undergowing expansions.

Re: Enthalpy
Hello. So enthalpy has to do with the amount of heat absorbed or released at a constant pressure. With that being said enthalpy deals with both exothermic and endothermic processes. Hope this helps.
Re: Enthalpy
hi believe enthalpy includes energy as well because sometimes systems lose energy from work. for example when enthalpy is also nCp(delta temperature). here the value of Cp is impacted by work of the gas being released (it's pushing molecules out of its way).

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy is the internal energy in a given system. The change in enthalpy however, would represent the energy going in or out of the system to my knowledge. Hope this helps

Re: Enthalpy
The reaction's enthalpy. The bonds between atoms can break, regenerate, or both during chemical processes, allowing energy to be absorbed or released. Enthalpy is the heat absorbed or released from a system under constant pressure, and the enthalpy of reaction is the change in enthalpy caused by a chemical reaction.

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy is the amount of heat in a system that is either absorbed or released. Enthalpy must always be at a constant pressure.

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy applies to a constant pressure and is essentially is the "heat content." In other words, at constant pressure, delta H = q (heat).

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy is a measurement of heat energy leaving or going into a system. Because heat is a form of energy, heat is measured in joules and other units of energy.

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy is the sum of internal energy plus the pressure times volume. It's essentially the heat energy being absorbed (endothermic) or released (exothermic) in a thermodynamic system.

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy has to do with the heat of a system. We refer to delta H as the change in heat and this can be negative (when heat is released) and positive (when heat is absorbed). Heat is the type of energy we typically refer to when discussing enthalpy.

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy is the absorption or release of heat in a system. You usually see it in the form of deltaH. It does refer to energy because heat is a type of energy.

Re: Enthalpy
I would say that enthalpy also includes energy given that it is a measurement of heat energy.

Re: Enthalpy
So would enthalpy be like the umbrella term for exothermic/endothermic reactions? Or are these two different things.

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy does refer to energy since it is the total heat absorbed or released in a system, and heat is a form of energy.

Re: Enthalpy
Simply put, enthalpy refers to the total heat content of the system. This means that when there is a positive change in enthalpy, products have higher heat content compared to reactants, thus the reaction requires more heat. On the contrary, if a reaction has a negative change in enthalpy, the reactants have a higher heat content than products, making it so the reaction requires less heat and is exothermic.

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy relates to the amount of heat released or absorbed for a chemical reaction. A negative enthalpy is an exothermic reaction and a positive enthalpy is an endothermic reaction.

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy is the study of heat released or absorbed in chemical RXNs and physical changes at a constant pressure.

Re: Enthalpy
Enthalpy deals with both absorption and releasing of heat since it is just the overall heat content of the system.
