The thermal energy at constant pressure is called:

Correct answer: A. Enthalpy

  • A. Enthalpy
  • B. Internal energy
  • C. Heat capacity
  • D. work done

Explanation

Enthalpy is defined as the sum of the internal energy of a system and the product of its pressure and volume. It is specifically used to describe the thermal energy of a system at constant pressure. Enthalpy change is related to the heat transfer occurring at constant pressure, making it the appropriate term for thermal energy under these conditions.
