Chemical Thermodynamics Question 92

Question: A mixture of two moles of carbon monoxide and one mole of oxygen, in a closed vessel is ignited to convert the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. If ΔH is the enthalpy change and ΔE is the change in internal energy, then [KCET 2005]

Options:

A) ΔH>ΔE

B) ΔH<ΔE

C) ΔH=ΔE

D) The relationship depends on the capacity of the vessel

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Formation of CO2 from CO is an exothermic reaction; heat is evolved from the system, i.e., energy is lowered. Thus, exothermic reactions occur spontaneously on account of decrease in enthapy of system. Thus, ΔE>ΔH .
