All of the following statements are false except

Correct answer: D. q = H = E at constant P or at constant V

  • A. q = H at constant T; q = E at constant V
  • B. q = H at constant V; q = E at constant P
  • C. q = H at constant P; q = E at constant V
  • D. q = H = E at constant P or at constant V

Explanation

q = H = E at constant P or at constant V: This statement is true. At constant pressure (P) or constant volume (V), the heat transfer (q) equals the enthalpy change (ΔH), which also equals the change in internal energy (ΔE). Therefore, this statement is not false.
