10.3 Enthalpy and Enthalpy Changes: delta H and Thermochemical Equations



Chapter 10: Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions | Lecture 3 of 8
General Chemistry: The Complete College Lecture Series

This chapter covers energy and thermodynamics, the first law, heat and work, enthalpy, calorimetry, Hess’s law, standard enthalpies of formation, bond enthalpies, and the Born-Haber cycle and lattice energy.

Part 3 of Chapter 10 introduces enthalpy, the heat content of a system, and shows why chemists use delta H instead of internal energy for reactions run at constant pressure. Starting from delta U = q + w, Dr. Kunapareddy derives delta H = delta U + P delta V and shows that at constant pressure delta H equals the heat q. The lecture connects the sign of delta H to endothermic and exothermic processes, reads thermochemical equations (such as ice melting and methane combustion), and states the rules for enthalpy: it is an extensive property, physical states matter, and reversing a reaction changes the sign of delta H. A worked glucose example applies these rules.

These are comprehensive general chemistry lecture videos, built to help students succeed in the course, with clear step-by-step explanations, closed captions and practice quiz questions.
