Enthalpy of Water Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the change in enthalpy of water.
H = m * C * T
- Where H is the enthalpy of water (J)
- m is the mass of water (g)
- C is the specific heat of water (4.186 J/g*C)
- T is the temperature (C)
To calculate the enthalpy of water, multiply the mass of the water by the temperature and the specific heat of water.
Enthalpy of Water Definition
The enthalpy of water is dependent on the mass and temperature of the water. The higher the temperature and the larger the mass the greater the enthalpy. The enthalpy of water is also dependent on the specific heat which is equal to 4.186 J/g*C for water.
