Enthalpy is the measurement of energy in a thermodynamic
system. It is the thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the total heat content of a system. It is equal to the internal energy of the system plus the product of pressure and volume
Boiling Point and Concentration
When a solute is added to a solvent, the vapor pressure of the
solvent (above the resulting solution) is less than the vapor pressure above the pure solvent. The boiling point of a solution, then, will be greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent because the solution (which has a lower vapor pressure) will need to be heated to a higher temperature in order for the vapor pressure to become equal to the external pressure (i.e., the boiling point).
The boiling point of the solvent above a solution changes as the
concentration of the solute in the solution changes (but it does not depend on the identity of either the solvent or the solute(s) particles (kind, size or charge) in the solution).
1. Hypothesis: The higher the value of concentration, the higher
the boiling point and enthalpy.
Basis:
Typically concentration is measured by the ratio of the amount
of substance divided by the volume of solution. One way of expressing concentration is molarity.
Molarity= (mols solute)/Liters of solution
Mols of solute=Molarity*Liters of solution
And thus, by increasing concentration (Molarity), the amount of substance (mols of solute is increased.Whenever a non-volatile substance is dissolved in a solvent, the boiling point of the solvent increases. The higher the concentration (molarity), the higher the boiling point.
Boiling point is expressed in temperature, a unit which refers to
the kinetic energy of particles due to energy (enthalpy). And thus, analogously, the increase in concentration increases the enthalpy of reaction.

For enthalpy
Enthalpy = mc*(change in temp)
Where m is the mass of the material
C is the coefficient of latent heat
Change in temp is Temp final - Temp initial
