Answer:

The heat of reaction is basically the energy that is being released and or absorbed when chemicals are transformed in a type of chemical reaction. However, the heat of reaction or also called reaction enthalpy is mostly or typically expressed as a molar enthalpy in kJ/mol and or as just a specific enthalpy in kJ/kg or kJ/L.
