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).

Guida passo passo

  1. 1q = m × c × ΔT
  2. 2m = mass in grams
  3. 3c = specific heat capacity (water: 4.18 J/g·°C)
  4. 4ΔT = final temperature − initial temperature
  5. 5For combustion: q = −m_fuel × ΔHcombustion / molar mass

Esempi risolti

Ingresso
500g water heated from 20°C to 80°C
Risultato
q = 500×4.18×60 = 125,400 J = 125.4 kJ
Heat absorbed by water
