Enthalpy of a reaction or energy change of a reaction D H, is the amount of energy or heat absorbed in a reaction. If the energy is required, D H is positive, and if energy is released, the D H, is negative.
An energy profile of an exothermic reaction. by definition the enthalpy change has a negative value: in an exothermic reaction, gives a negative value for Î´H, since a larger value (the energy released in the reaction) is subtracted from a smaller value (the energy used for the reaction). For example, when hydrogen burns:
