The precise measurement of heat flow out of a system for chemical and physical processes
endothermic
(of a chemical reaction or compound) occurring or formed with absorption of heat

energy gained or released in a process
exothermic
Chemical Reaction in which energy is primarily given off in the form of heat
heat
The energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures
Hess's Law
the overall enthalpy change in a reaction is equal to the sum of enthalpy changes for the individual steps in the process
