Gibbs and Enthalpy
What is the difference between delta G and delta H if both of them are energy released from a reaction?

Re: Gibbs and Enthalpy
Gibbs free energy represents the total energy that is 'free' after a reaction. The energy from electrons and electrostatic charges are not included in this 'free energy.' Free energy is energy that can be used to do work.
Re: Gibbs and Enthalpy
Gibbs free energy measures the amount of energy that is free after a reaction, basically the energy left that is able to do work. Delta H measures the amount of energy that was taken in by a reaction so that the reaction could run, or the amount of energy that the reaction released when it ran.
