Solution

The symbol ∆H represents the change in enthalpy in a chemical reaction. Enthalpy is a measure of the total energy of a thermodynamic system. It includes the internal energy, which is the energy required to create a system, and the amount of energy required to make room for it by displacing its environment and establishing volume and pressure.

In a chemical reaction, the change in enthalpy (∆H) is the total enthalpy of the products minus the total enthalpy of the reactants. If ∆H is negative, the reaction is exothermic (releases heat). If ∆H is positive, the reaction is endothermic (absorbs heat).
