9.1 Enthalpy Change
$H = E +PV$

$?H = ?E + ?(PV)$

$?H = ?E + ? PV+ P?V$

At constant pressure

$?H = ?E + P?V$

It is an extensive property and state function.

The enthalpy change $?H$ i.e., increase in enthalpy $H$ is equal to heat absorbed at constant pressure and this explains the name 'heat content' for the function $H.$

At constant pressure small amount of heat transfer

$(dq)P$ $=$ $dH$ $ = n{C_p}dT$

Where

n $=$ no. of moles

${C_p} = $ molar specific heat at constant pressure

$dT =$ small change in temperature

At constant temperature and pressure

$\Delta H = \Delta E + P\Delta V,\Delta E = $ Change in internal energy

$P\Delta V = \Delta W = $ Work done

(1) Most of the chemical reactions occur at constant pressure (1 atmospheric) and in an open vessel.

(2) When
$\Delta V = 0{\text{ }}\Delta H = \Delta E$

$\Delta H = - ve,$ (reaction is exothermic)

$\Delta H = + ve,$ (reaction is endothermic)

(3) Enthalpy of a system depends on the physical state (solid, liquid and gas)

(4) $H$ is a state function. Therefore, it depends only on initial and final states. The absolute value of enthalpy cannot be determined

(5) Enthalpy of monoatomic gas $ = \frac{5}{2}RT$ per mole.

(6) Change in enthalpy of the products and reactants at $298 K$ and $1$ atmospheric pressure is called standard molar enthalpy change.
