Calculate change in internal energy if \(\Delta H=-92.2 \mathrm{~kJ}, P=40 \mathrm{~atm}\) and \(\Delta V=-1 \mathrm{~L}\).
  1. \(-42 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  2. \(-88 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  3. \(+88 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  4. \(+42 \mathrm{~kJ}\).

Solution

\(\Delta H=\Delta E+P \Delta V\) \(\begin{aligned} \Delta E & =\Delta H-P \Delta V=-92.2-40 \times(-1) \times 101 \times 10^{-3} \\ & =-92.2+4.04=-88.16 \mathrm{~kJ} \approx-88 \mathrm{~kJ} . \end{aligned}\)
