For a system

from state A to B, then change in internal energy
∆E = Eb-Ea
Hence internal energy is called state function.
Hence, function
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed,
but may be converted from one form to
another.
∆E = Q − W

internal energy E is a state variable
W Q process dependent.
W, dependent
Heat change at constant pressure.
H = E + PV
E is internal energy, P is pressure and V is volume
∆E or (Eb-Ea) = q – w
w = P(Vb-Va) at constant pressure
(Eb-Ea) = qp – P(Vb-Va)
qp = (Eb +PVb) - (Ea + Pva)
H = ∆H
qp = Hb –Ha
Enthalpy change of a system is equal to heat
absorbed by the system at constant pressure.

¾ ∆H is –ve, heat will be evolved, Rxn is exothermic
