Enthalpy changes over a constant pressure path are always zero for ______________ gas?

Correct answer: B. A perfect

  • A. Any
  • B. A perfect
  • C. An easily liquefiable
  • D. A real

Explanation

For a perfect gas, enthalpy depends only on temperature, and at constant pressure the temperature remains constant for a fixed amount and composition of gas. Therefore its enthalpy change is zero, unlike a general real gas.
