For an ideal gas expanding adiabatically in vacuum,A. `Delta H lt 0`B. `Delta H = 0`C. `Delta H gt 0`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
For an ideal gas expanding adiabatically, `Delta U = W` because `q = 0. W = - P Delta V = 0` because for expansion against vacuum, `P_("ext") = 0`.
According to thermodynamics,
`Delta H = Delta U + P Delta V`
Since both `Delta U` and `P Delta V` are zero, we have `Delta H = 0`.
