Asked in KMU MDCAT 2023 2023Moderate

Processes involving solid and liquid have their:

Correct answer: C. 𝚫H=𝚫E

  • A. 𝚫H=𝚫E +P𝚫V
  • B. 𝚫H=P𝚫V
  • C. 𝚫H=𝚫E
  • D. 𝚫H=0

Explanation

Option C is correct as ΔH=ΔE+PΔV and for a process involving solids and/or liqiuds, ΔV≅0. Therefore, 𝚫H=𝚫E. There is a change in the internal energy of the process with the environment.

About Enthalpy

Enthalpy is the heat content of a system measured at constant pressure, and its change indicates whether a reaction or physical process is endothermic or exothermic. The topic covers state functions, enthalpy diagrams, standard enthalpy of formation, combustion and neutralisation, and the relationship between ΔH and internal energy change.
