For the reaction C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(l) + 3\text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{CO}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}(l) which one is true?

A

ΔH=ΔERT\Delta H = \Delta E - RT

B

ΔH=ΔE+RT\Delta H = \Delta E + RT

C

ΔH=ΔE+2RT\Delta H = \Delta E + 2RT

D

ΔH=ΔE2RT\Delta H = \Delta E - 2RT

Step-by-Step Solution

The relationship between enthalpy change (ΔH\Delta H) and internal energy change (ΔE\Delta E or ΔU\Delta U) is given by the equation: ΔH=ΔE+ΔngRT\Delta H = \Delta E + \Delta n_g RT. For the given reaction: C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(l) + 3\text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{CO}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}(l) The change in the number of gaseous moles, Δng=np(g)nr(g)=23=1\Delta n_g = n_p(g) - n_r(g) = 2 - 3 = -1. Substituting Δng\Delta n_g in the equation, we get: ΔH=ΔE+(1)RTΔH=ΔERT\Delta H = \Delta E + (-1)RT \Rightarrow \Delta H = \Delta E - RT.
