    What is the Significance of Standard Enthalpy of Reaction?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_enthalpy_of_reaction" of reactants (ΔHfO). My question is, why? And I also know that I can find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_enthalpy_of_reaction" (ΔHrO) by subtracting the bond energies of the reactants from the products. The result differs...

    Graduate What is the significance of enthalpy in constant pressure systems?

    So in a constant pressure system if u = q + pv and h = u - pv that means h = q then what's the importance of enthalpy. Why do they say the enthalpy of the reaction is blah blah instead of the heat released or absorbed is blah blah.

    String tension and buoyancy on a submerged object

    How can they be equal at that point? And where is the force that the string applies. By the way Fk = Buoyancy Force
