enthalpy vs. entropy
« on: February 27, 2010, 03:13:30 PM »
dose anyone have a good way to keep entropy and enthalpy separate in my head? I know the difference between the two it's just that the words sound so similar I'm afraid I will get them mixed up on my next exam.

EntHalpy has an H in it.  Entropy doesn't, so it is S.  That's how I make the distinction....
