Re: Enthalpy and Entropy
The first response on this website explained it really well for me:
http://socratic.org/questions/what-is-the-difference-between-entropy-and-enthalpy
Conceptually:
"Enthralled- H, is the sum of internal energy of a system and the product of the pressure and volume of the system.
Explanation:
Entropy- S, is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system."

Re: Enthalpy and Entropy
Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness of a system. An ordered system has low entropy. A disordered system has high entropy. Enthalpy is defined as the sum of internal energy of a system and the product of the pressure and volume of the system.

Re: Enthalpy and Entropy
Great discussion. For simplicity, enthalpy can be referred to as heat while entropy refers to the disorder of a system.
