What is the primary purpose of using enthalpy in thermodynamics?
  1. To measure the temperature of a system
  2. To calculate the work done by a system
  3. To determine the heat content of a system at constant pressure
  4. To evaluate the change in volume of a system

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary purpose of using enthalpy in thermodynamics?
  • Step 1: Understand that enthalpy is a measure of heat content in a system.
  • Step 2: Recognize that enthalpy is used when the pressure in the system remains constant.
  • Step 3: Learn that enthalpy helps us calculate how much heat is absorbed or released during chemical reactions.
  • Step 4: Remember that knowing the heat transfer is important for understanding how reactions occur and how energy is used.
