Physics Question on Thermodynamics

What is the correct expression for enthalpy?

Answer

The correct expression for enthalpy (H) is:
H=U+PVH=U+PV

Where:

  • H is the enthalpy of the system.
  • U is the internal energy of the system.
  • P is the pressure of the system.
  • V is the volume of the system.

Enthalpy is a thermodynamic property that represents the total heat content of a system at constant pressure. It is often useful in chemical and physical processes, particularly when analyzing heat transfer and chemical reactions occurring at constant pressure.
