In a bomb calorimeter , volume is constant. Do you think thatDeltaH = DeltaU? Why or why not ?

Answer»

Solution :No, `DeltaH cancel(=) DeltaU`. This is BECAUSETHE relation `DeltaH = DeltaU + P DeltaV` holds good only at constant PRESSURE. This may be seen as FOLLOWS `:`
`H =U +P Delta V :. Delta H= Delta U + Pdelta V + V DeltaP`
At constant pressure, `Delta p = 0 ,:.DeltaH = Delta U +P DeltaV`
At constant VOLUME, `Delta V = 0 , ,' DeltaH = Delta U + VDeltaP`
