AIIMS2003ChemistryThermodynamics (C)
Assertion : H and E are almost the same for the reaction, N _ 2( ~g ) + O _ 2( ~g ) 2 NO ( g . Reason : All reactants and products are gases.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
Step-by-step solution
H= E+ n R T n= change in number of moles of products and reactant species. aligned & N _ 2(g) + O _ 2(g) 2 NO _ (g) n= & 2-2=0 H= & E+0 R T or, H= E . aligned
