Enthalpy

Postby Chloe Alviz 1E » Sun Feb 02, 2020 9:16 pm

When exactly does enthalpy equal "q"? Are there certain conditions we need to follow?

If there is no non-expansion work done on the system and the pressure is still constant, then the heat consumed or released by the system will be equal to q.

In terms of enthalpy, ΔH = q only when pressure is constant.

q = enthalpy when the pressure is constant, such as in an open system.

q=enthalpy only when the pressure is constant because no other work is being done.

When q equals delta H that means that pressure is constant in the system. There is also no other work being done on the system.

How does enthalpy or change in enthalpy relate to q when pressure isn't constant?

Do we need to memorize the table in the textbook that tells you which fraction to multiply R by based on if the reactant is an atom or molecule and so forth?
