Do you know what these terms mean?

anonymous · Answer

I think enthalpy is the heat content and internal energy and entropy is the thermal energy?

Sorry, that's not right. It'll take too long to explain all these terms, so instead i'll post some good videos on the topics. After you watch these, make an educated guess and i'll help you understand this better if still have doubts.
