Which amongst the following options is the correct relation between change in enthalpy and change in internal energy?
  1. H+U=ngR
  2. H=U-ngRT
  3. H=U+ngRT
  4. H-U=-ngRT

Solution

Correct relation between change in enthalpy and change in internal energy is

H=U+ngRT

As we know,

H=U+PV ....(i)

For an ideal gas

PV=nRT

For reactant, PVA=nART

For product, PVB=nBRT

Thus, 

P(VB-VA)=(nB-nA)RTPV=ngRT ......(ii)

Substituting (ii) in (i), we get

H=U+ngRT
