Heat Balance Equation
(OP)
If I want to write down a heat balance equation for a control volume where some chemical reaction is goin on then how correct will it be to say that the heat generated within the control volume is equal to the enthalpy of that reaction.

Change in enthalpy of the control volume =
Heat generated + heat flow into the colume from surroundings + work done on control volume.
Caution: Be careful with units and signs.

" the heat generated within the control volume is equal to the enthalpy of that reaction"
He dosnt say thats the entire ballance - just asks about the reaction bit!
