Question

If Δng\Delta n_g is positive, then for ideal gases:

  1. A
    ΔH>ΔU\Delta H > \Delta U
    Correct
  2. B
    ΔH<ΔU\Delta H < \Delta U
  3. C
    ΔH=ΔU\Delta H = \Delta U always
  4. D
    Cannot compare

Correct answer

ΔH>ΔU\Delta H > \Delta U

Explanation

Because ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n_gRT.
