The discussion clarifies the relationship between ΔH (enthalpy change) and Q (heat transfer) in thermodynamics. It establishes that ΔH is not always calculated after Q; rather, it depends on the specific thermodynamic process being analyzed. For instance, in constant pressure processes, ΔH can be directly equated to Q. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate thermodynamic calculations.

Do you know the difference between the definitions of ##\Delta H## and Q?yuh_yuh said:Summary:: I just need help to understand when to apply ΔH T^T
I understand the difference between ΔH and Q, but when I calculate Q will I always calculate ΔH after it?
