When heat moves out of a system, what is the sign of the enthalpy?
- Correct Answer: negative
- N/A (zero)
- it depends
- positive
Explanation: where H is the enthalpy of the system, E is the internal energy, P is the pressure, and V is the volume. It can be difficult to distinguish "heat" and "enthalpy. " Heat measures the transfer of thermal energy between two objects, and enthalpy measures the flow of heat. When heat flows out of a system, the change in enthalpy is negative; when heat flows into a system, the change in enthalpy is positive. Enthalpy is a useful tool for characterizing chemical reactions.
