The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction, often referred to as delta H, represents the heat absorbed or released during the reaction at constant pressure. It is directly related to the change in internal energy (ΔU) of the system, as ΔH = ΔU + PΔV, where P is the pressure and ΔV is the change in volume. A negative ΔH indicates an exothermic reaction, while a positive ΔH indicates an endothermic reaction. Therefore, ΔH provides insight into the energy dynamics of the reaction and its favorability.
