(0) Enthalpy $(H)$ is a state function,which means its value depends only on the initial and final states of the system.
In a cyclic process,the system returns to its initial state after completing the cycle.
Therefore,the change in enthalpy for the entire cycle is zero,i.e.,$\Delta H_{\text{cycle}} = 0$.
