Chemistry Question on Spontaneity
Molar enthalpy change for melting of ice is 6kJ/mol. Then the internal energy change (in kJ/mol ) when 1 mole of water is converted into ice at 1 atm at 0∘C is Empty QImg
A
RT/1000
B
6
C
6-(RT/1000)
D
6+(RT/1000)
Answer
6
Explanation
Solution
Given, ΔH=6kJ/mol ΔU=? H2O(l)Ice(s) ∵ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT Here, Δng=0 ∴ΔH=ΔU ⇒ΔU=6kJ/mol
