Question
Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics terms
The difference between the reaction enthalpy change (ΔrH) and reaction internal energy change (ΔrU) for die reaction : 2C6H6(1)+15O2(g)→12CO2(g)+6H2O(1) at 300 K is (R=8.31,mol−1K−1)
A
0Jmol−1
B
2490Jmol−1
C
−2490Jmol−1
D
−7482Jmol−1
Answer
−7482Jmol−1
Explanation
Solution
ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT For the reaction Δng=12−15=−3 ΔH−ΔU=−3×8.314×300 =−7482Jmol−1
