Generation

The enthalpy of reaction (ΔH) is the heat energy absorbed or released during a chemical reaction at constant pressure. When bonds break in reactants, energy is absorbed, and when new bonds form in products, energy is released—the difference between these two is the enthalpy change. If products have lower energy than reactants (ΔH is negative), the reaction is exothermic and releases heat to the surroundings; if products have higher energy (ΔH is positive), the reaction is endothermic and absorbs heat. You can calculate ΔH by subtracting the total enthalpy of reactants from the total enthalpy of products: ΔH = H(products) - H(reactants).
