When is delta H and q interchangeable?

Great question, delta H and q are interchangeable only when there is heat under constant pressure.

Delta H is considered a specific type of q. Delta H=qp.

If pressure is held constant, q will have a subscript p (qp), making it interchangeable with delta H.

Like the others said above, q and delta H are interchangeable only when a system is under constant pressure. However, we can calculate q using delta H during phase changes. q = (mass)(delta H at a phase change).
