ChemistryThermodynamics (C)NEETNEET 2006
Options:
  • A $2 \mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})}+\mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}$
  • B $\mathrm{H}_{2(g)}+\mathrm{Br}_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HBr}_{(\mathrm{g})}$
  • C $\mathrm{C}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{g})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2(g)}+\mathrm{CO}_{2(g)}$
  • D $\mathrm{PCl}_{5(g)} \rightarrow \mathrm{PCl}_{3(g)}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2(g)}$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{H}_{2(g)}+\mathrm{Br}_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HBr}_{(\mathrm{g})}$
$\mathrm{For}_2(g)+\mathrm{Br}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HBr}(g)$
$$
\begin{array}{ll}
\because & \Delta n_g=0 \\
\therefore & \Delta \mathrm{H}=\Delta \mathrm{E}+\Delta n_g \mathrm{RT} \\
\Rightarrow & \Delta \mathrm{H}=\Delta \mathrm{E}
\end{array}
$$
