Heat Balance Equation

If i were to perform a heat balance equation for a control volume where some chemical recation is goin on then will it be correct to say that the rate of heat generation is equal to the enthalpy of the reaction.

Enthalpy of reaction gives us the amount of heat which is absorbed or liberated during a chemical reaction. In this case, assuming that the enthalpy of reaction is the only source of heat generation, the rate of heat generation within the control volume depends on the rate at which the chemical reaction takes place.
