0 deltaH?

Postby 405509920 » Mon Jan 24, 2022 8:08 pm

Is it possible to have a value of 0 for H? As in heat is not required for the reaction nor is it expelled. Or if a reaction can have both exo and endo qualities so they cancel out?

Hi! I am assuming that a delta H value of 0 is possible, if the energy of both the reactants and products are the same. In this case, I do not think the reaction would be endothermic or exothermic, since no heat is gained or lost at the end of the process.

Yes! delta H can have a value of 0 if the reaction is not emitting or absorbing heat.
