In the reaction, (C\_{(s)} + O\_{2(g)} \to CO\_{2(g)}) | Chemistry | SolveeIt

Question

In the reaction, $C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)}$

$\Delta H = \Delta E + RT$

$\Delta H = \Delta E - RT$

$\Delta H = \Delta E$

$\Delta H = \Delta E + 2RT$

Answer

$\Delta H = \Delta E$

Explanation

Solution

In the reaction, $C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)}$
$\Delta H = \Delta E + P \Delta V$ or $\Delta H = \Delta E +\Delta n_g RT$
$\Delta n_g = 1 - 1 =0$ or $\Delta H = \Delta E$
