Enter the change in internal energy (J), the change in pressure (Pa), and the change in volume (m^3) into the calculator to determine the Change in Enthalpy.
Change in Enthalpy Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Change in Enthalpy.
dH = dU + dP * dV
- Where dH is the Change in Enthalpy (J)
- dU is the change in internal energy (J)
- dP is the change in pressure (Pa)
- dV is the change in volume (m^3)
How to Calculate Change in Enthalpy?
The following example problems outline how to calculate the Change in Enthalpy.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the change in internal energy (J). In this example, the change in internal energy (J) is given as 100 .
- Next, determine the change in pressure (Pa). For this problem, the change in pressure (Pa) is given as 5 .
- Next, determine the change in volume (m^3). In this case, the change in volume (m^3) is found to be 4.
- Finally, calculate the Change in Enthalpy using the formula above:
dH = dU + dP * dV
Inserting the values from above yields:
dH = 100 + 5 * 4 = 120 (J)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the equation. For this example problem, these are as follows:
change in internal energy (J) = 270
change in pressure (Pa) = 3
change in volume (m^3) = 6
Entering these given values and solving gives:
dH = 270 + 3 * 6 = 218 (J)
