For the reaction, C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) which one is true
- = - RT
- = + RT
- = + 2RT
- = - 2RT
Answer
(1) = - RT
Solution
As per NCERT, = + g RT (here ΔU is written as ΔE)
g = moles of gaseous products − moles of gaseous reactants
= 2 - 3 = -1 (liquids are not counted)
⇒ = - RT
Answer: (1)
