Which amongst the following options is the correct relation between change in enthalpy and change in internal energy?
- H = U + ng RT
- H - U = - n RT
- H + U = n R
- H = U - ng RT
Answer
(1) H = U + ng RT
Solution
H = U + pV
H = U + p V
For an ideal gas at constant T and p: p V = ng RT, where ng = moles of gaseous products - moles of gaseous reactants.
H = U + ng RT
Answer: (1)
