ENTHALPY (H)-ANOTHER USEFUL STATE FUNCTION
Energy change occurring during the reaction at constant temperature and
constant volume is given by internal energy change, However, most of the
reactions in the laboratory are carried out in open beakers or test tubes,
etc. In such cases, the reacting system is open to atmosphere. Since
atmospheric pressure is almost constant, therefore, such reactions may
involve the changes in volume. The energy change occurring during such
reactions may not be equal to the internal energy change.
3
51. 3
(a) If the reaction proceeds with the increases in volume the system
has to expand against the atmospheric pressure and energy is
required for this purpose. The heat evolved in this case would be
little less than the heat evolved at constant volume because a part
of the energy has to be utilized for expansion.
3
53. 5
(b) If the reaction proceeds with decrease in volume at constant
pressure, the work is done on the system and heat evolved will be
greater than the heat evolved at constant volume.
Enthalpy is the total energy associated with any system which
includes its internal energy and also energy due to environmental
factors such as pressure-volume conditions.

Enthalpy
The sum of internal energy and PV energy of any system, under given set
of conditions, is called enthalpy. It is denoted by H and is also called heat
content of the system.
H = U + PV
Some important features of enthalpy are:
• It is a state function and is an extensive property,
• It is also called heat content of the system,
• Its value depends upon amount of the substance, chemical nature
of the substance and conditions of temperature and pressure.

Internal energy (U) is the energy required to create the system and does
not include the energy needed to displace the system's surroundings in
which it exists.
Enthalpy (H) is a measure of total energy of thermodynamic system which
includes its internal energy and also the energy required to make room for
it by displacing its environment and establishing its volume at the
atmospheric pressure. It may be regarded as thermodynamic potential of
the system.
