For the reaction: \(C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)→3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(l)\) at constant temperature, ∆H–∆E is:
- RT
- -3RT
- 3RT
- -RT
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Mathematically, it can be represented as:
∆H - ∆E = ∆nRT
In this reaction:
The number of moles of gas molecules on the left side (reactants) is 1 (C3H8) + 5 (O2) = 6 moles.
The number of moles of gas molecules on the right side (products) is 3 (CO2).
So, ∆n = (moles of products) - (moles of reactants) = 3 - 6 =-3 moles.
Now,
∆H - ∆E = ∆nRT = (-3)RT = - 3RT
So, the correct answer is (B): -3RT

Enthalpy change
Enthalpy Change refers to the difference between the heat content of the initial and final state of the reaction. Change in enthalpy can prove to be of great importance to find whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
Formula for change in enthalpy is:-
dH = dU + d(PV)
The above equation can be written in the terms of initial and final states of the system which is defined below:
UF – UI = qP –p(VF – VI)
Or qP = (UF + pVF) – (UI + pVI)
Enthalpy (H) can be written as H= U + PV. Putting the value in the above equation, we obtained:
qP = HF – HI = ∆H
Hence, change in enthalpy ∆H = qP, referred to as the heat consumed at a constant pressure by the system. At constant pressure, we can also write,
∆H = ∆U + p∆V
Standard Enthalpy of Reaction
To specify the standard enthalpy of any reaction, it is calculated when all the components participating in the reaction i.e., the reactants and the products are in their standard form. Therefore the standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy change that occurs in a system when a matter is transformed by a chemical reaction under standard conditions.
