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.
Enthalpy in chemistry can be thought of as the energy contained within the bonds, or the internal energy, but it is not heat and you can only measure changes in it. When bond bonds break in the reactants energy is given off, when bonds form, energy is absorbed.
