For the reaction NaCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq), will ΔH be greater than, equal to or less than ΔU?
Answers
Answer:
For the reaction NaCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq), will ΔH be greater than, equal to or less than ΔE? Answer: ΔH will be ΔE. Write the mathematical relationship between heat, internal energy, and work done on the system.
For this reaction
ΔH is equal to ΔE
which means it is equal to ΔU
as both ΔU and ΔE can be used interchangeably.
Given reaction:
The reaction given is
NaCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
ΔH is change in enthalpy .
Enthalpy is a measure of the total amount of energy consist by a system.
ΔU is the adiabatic work done by the system
this is a spontaneous reaction
the AgCl precipitates removing Ag+ and Cl- ions
It is a exothermic reaction hence the Gibbs free energy change is negative.
the entropy change is negative and the less disorder is produced.
del G for this equation is negative , so del H must be or is negative.
Hence it is equal to the energy or ΔE of the system .
