Calculate the enthalpy change on freezing of 1.0 mol of water at 10.0°C to ice at –10.0°C.
Heat capacity at constant pressure is greater than heat capacity at constant volume. Why?
Comment on:
(i) ∆U is –ve for exothermic reactions and
(ii) ∆U is +ve for endothermic reactions.
Give the points of difference between exothermic reactions and enodthermic reactions.
Exothermic reactions | Endothermic reactions |
1. In such reactions, heat is evolved | 1. In such reactions, heat is absorbed. |
2. ∆H has –ve value. | 2. ∆H has a +ve value. |
3. ∆U has a –ve value. | 3. ∆U has a +ve value. |
