Enthalpy is a thermodynamic state function. At constant pressure, under the usual conditions for pressure-volume work, its change is especially useful for discussing heat transferred.

Concrete checkpoint

The mole connects a laboratory-scale mass to an enormous number of particles. Balanced equations turn that counting idea into reaction ratios; thermochemistry then tracks energy transferred.
