Question:

The difference between \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta U\) (\(\Delta H-\Delta U\)), when the combustion of one mole of heptane(l) is carried out at a temperature \(T\), is equal to :

Show Hint

Use delta H - delta U = (delta n_g) R T, counting only gaseous species.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

\(\mathrm{C_7H_{16}(l)+11O_2(g)\rightarrow 7CO_2(g)+8H_2O(l)}\).
\(\Delta n_g=7-11=-4\).
\(\Delta H-\Delta U=\Delta n_gRT=-4RT\).
Answer: (1) \(-4RT\)
