Reactivity 1. What drives chemical reactions? » Reactivity 1.1—Measuring enthalpy changes » Reactivity 1.1.4—The standard enthalpy change for a chemical reaction, ΔH⦵, refers to the heat transferred at constant pressure under standard conditions and states. It can be determined from the change in temperature of a pure substance. Apply the equations Q = mcΔT and ΔH = − Qn in the calculation of the enthalpy change of a reaction.
