NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
If a reaction is carried out under non-standard conditions, how does the enthalpy of reaction compare to the standard enthalpy of reaction (∆H)?
Options
- AIt is always greater than ∆H
- BIt is always smaller than ∆H
- CIt can be greater or smaller than ∆H depending on the conditions
- DIt is equal to ∆H regardless of the conditions
Correct answer
C. It can be greater or smaller than ∆H depending on the conditions
Step-by-step solution
The enthalpy of a reaction under non-standard conditions can be greater or smaller than ∆H depending on the specific conditions of the reaction.
