Best Answer

Heat of reaction and enthalpy of reaction are the same thing. Enthalpy, or the heat transfer, cannot be measured, however we can measure the CHANGE of enthalpy which is shown by a value of ∆H. This measured in kilojoules per mole of reactant. (KJ/mol)

This value may be positive or negative. For endothermic reactions (which absorb heat), the ∆H value is always positive. For exothermic, where heat is released, the value is negative.

its value does not depend on which reactions are added
