Is enthalpy a state function?

[Yea Eun Lee 1H]

Yup, enthalpy is a state function, which explains why we are able to use Hess's law to calculate the reaction enthalpy.

[OliviaShearin2E]

Enthalpy is a state function.

[Paula Dowdell 1F]

A state function describes the equilibrium state of a system. Internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy are state quantities because they describe quantitatively an equilibrium state of a thermodynamic system, irrespective of how the system arrived in that state.

[melissa carey 1f]

You can think of the enthalpy of formation as the heat stored in the bonds of the molecule, formed from its components.

[Lorie Seuylemezian-2K]

Yes enthaply is a state function!

[Patricia Macalalag 2E]

Yes enthalpy is a state function.

[Warda Sahib 2J]

Yes, it is

[Joyce Gu 1E]

Yes, enthalpy is a state function

[Thompson W 2C]

Yes!

[Kayla Tchorz-Dis 1F]

yes it is

[Christina Cen 2J]

we use the hess's law approach to add up enthalpies, which is only possible because it is a state function
