It's much more relevant to set our zero point energy as the separation of a bond in terms of talking about the reactions that we'll usually be dealing with here.

更好的是把零点能定在,键断裂的时刻,在讨论化学反应的时候,而我们以后将经常遇到化学反应。

You know, if you want to measure the potential energy of something in a gravitational field, you have to define the zero somewhere, right, because it's arbitrary. You can set it anywhere you want. It's the same with enthalpy.

你知道，如果你想测量重力场,中某种东西的势能，你需要，在某处定义一个零点，对吧？,因为势能的值是任意的,你可以把它设定在。

好的,求导,然后呢,令它等于0

The absolute number that you assign to it is something that's arbitrary. You have to set what the zero is. And so there's a well-understood convention for what the zero is.

你指定给它的绝对值是有任意性的,你需要设定零点的位置,因此有一个经过充分研究的,关于设定零点的约定。
