Enthalpy /ËÉnÎ¸Élpi/ (Symbol: H) is a measurement of energy in a thermodynamic system. It is the thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the total heat content of a system. It is equal to the internal energy of the system plus the product of pressure and volume.
The enthalpy of hydration is always exothermic, since it involves bond making. The lattice energy contribution is always endothermic, since it involves breaking the ionic bonds between the positive and negative ions in the molecule.
