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 `DeltaH` is the enthalpy change and `DeltaE` is the change in internal energy, thenA. `DeltaH gt DeltaE`B. `DeltaH lt DeltaE`C. `DeltaH = DeltaE`D. The relationship depends on the capacity of the vessel |

Answer» Correct Answer - B Formation of `CO_(2)` from CO is an exotheric reaction, heat is evolved from the system, i.e., energy is lowered. Thus, exothermic reactions occur spontaneously on account of decrease in enthalpy of system. Thus, `DeltaE gt DeltaH`. |
