Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics

For a reaction in which all reactants and products are liquids, which one of the following equations is most applicable ?

A

ΔH<ΔE\Delta H < \Delta E

B

ΔH=ΔS\Delta H = \Delta S

C

ΔH=ΔE\Delta H = \Delta E

D

ΔH=ΔG\Delta H = \Delta G

Answer

ΔH=ΔE\Delta H = \Delta E

Explanation

Solution

As all reactant and product are liquid Δn(g)=0\Delta n_{(g)} = 0 ΔH=ΔEΔnRT\Delta H = \Delta E - \Delta nRT ΔH=ΔE(Δn=0)\Delta H = \Delta E \, \, \, (\because \, \Delta n = 0)
