🔥Enthalpy Change Calculator (Q=mcΔT)
Water=4.18
Enthalpy (H) is a thermodynamic property measuring the total heat content of a system at constant pressure. Enthalpy change ΔH = q = m × c × ΔT for calorimetry calculations. Exothermic reactions release heat (ΔH < 0); endothermic absorb heat (ΔH > 0).
- 1q = m × c × ΔT
- 2m = mass in grams
- 3c = specific heat capacity (water: 4.18 J/g·°C)
- 4ΔT = final temperature − initial temperature
- 5For combustion: q = −m_fuel × ΔHcombustion / molar mass
500g water heated from 20°C to 80°C=q = 500×4.18×60 = 125,400 J = 125.4 kJHeat absorbed by water

Fun Fact
The standard enthalpy of combustion of octane (petrol) is −5,471 kJ/mol. One litre of petrol stores about 34,000 kJ of chemical energy — enough to heat a bathtub of water by 50°C.
