Step 1: The relationship between enthalpy change ($\Delta H$) and internal energy change ($\Delta U$) is given by: \[ \Delta H = \Delta U + P\Delta V \] For 1 mole of an ideal gas, the volume change at constant pressure can be calculated as: \[ P\Delta V = R T \] Step 2: Given: \[ \Delta H = 41 { kJ mol}^{-1}, \quad R = 8.3 { J K}^{-1} { mol}^{-1}, \quad T = 373 { K} \] \[ P\Delta V = (8.3 \times 373) \times 10^{-3} { kJ} \] Step 3: Computing the expansion work: \[ P\Delta V = 3.1 { kJ} \] Step 4: Substituting in the equation: \[ \Delta U = 41 - 3.1 = 37.9 { kJ mol}^{-1} \] Step 5: Therefore, the correct answer is (A).
Which of the following changes alone would cause increase in the value of the equilibrium constant of the reaction?
\(PCl_5(g) \rightarrow PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g); \Delta H>0\)
For the reaction:
$3Fe_{(s)} + 2O_2{(g)} \rightarrow Fe_3O_4{(s)}$
$\Delta H = -1650\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$, $\Delta S = -600\,\text{J K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1}$ at $300\,\text{K}$. What is the value of free energy change for the reaction at $300\,\text{K}$?
