    A mixture of two moles of carbon monoxide and one mole of oxygen, in a closed vessel is ignited to convert the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. If \[\Delta H\] is the enthalpy change and \[\Delta E\]is the change in internal energy, then:

    A)  \[\Delta H>\Delta E\]

    B)  \[\Delta H<\Delta E\]

    C)  \[\Delta H=\Delta E\]

    D)  The relationship depends on the capacity of the vessel

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[2CO+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{O}_{2}}\] \[\Delta n=\Delta E+\Delta nRT\] \[\Delta n\]= No. of moles of gaseous product -- No. of moles of gaseous reactant \[\Delta n=2-3=-1\] \[\Delta H=\Delta E-RT\] \[\therefore \] \[\Delta H<\Delta E\]
