MCQ
The difference between $\Delta H$ and $\Delta U$ $(\Delta H - \Delta U),$ when the combustion of one mole of heptane $(I)$ is carried out a temperature $T$ is equal to
  • $-4\,RT$
  • B
    $-3\,RT$
  • C
    $3\,RT$
  • D
    $4\,RT$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-4\,RT$
a
${C_7}{H_{16}}(l) + 11{O_2}(g) \to 7C{O_2}(g) + 8{H_2}O(l)$

$\Delta {n_g} = {n_p} - {n_r}$

$ = 7 - 11 =  - 4$

$\because \,\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta {n_g}RT$

$\therefore \,\Delta H - \Delta U =  - 4\,RT$
