Enthalpy of Formation. The (molar) enthalpy of formation is the heat released ( ) or absorbed ( ) in a chemical reaction at constant pressure when simple substances combine into a more complex substance. At standard conditions of pressure and temperature (1 atm and 298 K), it is denoted . For elements in their standard states, .
By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Definition: Enthalpy is a thermodynamic property of a system. It is the sum of the internal energy added to the product of the pressure and volume of the system. It reflects the capacity to do non-mechanical work and the capacity to release heat.
