What is enthalpy a measure of? a. the heat content of a system. b. the kinetic energy of a system. c. the number of moles of reactant in a system. d. the disorder of a system.

The answer is A. The heat content of a system.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation

this is not my own answer, this is an answer for the same question by the user blahblahmali. i do not claim ownership of this account.

your answer is a. the enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.
