Question
Give the appropriate reason.
  1. It is preferable to determine the change in enthalpy rather than the change in internal energy.
  2. It is necessary to define the 'standard state'.
  3. It is necessary to specify the phases of the reactants and products in a thermochemical equation.
✓

Answer

  1. Because it is easier to make measurement under constant pressure than under constant volume conditions.
  2. Enthalpy change depends upon the conditions in which a reaction is carried out. For making the comparison of results obtained by different people meaningful, the reaction conditions must be well-defined.
  3. Because enthalpy depends upon the phase of reactants and products.
