Is the change in enthalpy of a reaction always equal to the heat transferred? Explain why or why not.
Added by Gary B.
Step 1
It represents the heat absorbed or released during the reaction at constant pressure. The heat transferred, denoted as q, is the amount of heat exchanged between a system and its surroundings during a process. Now, let's consider two scenarios: Show more…
