NEET Chemistry Enthalpy Changes MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

For a reaction, A(g) ⟶ A(l); ΔH = -3RT. The correct statement for the reaction is

A

|ΔH| < |ΔU|

B

ΔH = ΔU ≠ 0

C

|ΔH| > |ΔU|

D

ΔH = ΔU = 0

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

For phase changes, ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT. Since Δn = 0 for condensation, |ΔH| < |ΔU|.
