STANDARD Chemistry Internal Energy MCQ Question
For the reaction of one mole of zinc dust with one mole of sulphuric acid in a bomb calorimeter, ΔU and w correspond to
U < 0, w = 0
U < 0, w < 0
U > 0, w = 0
U > 0, w > 0
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The reaction in a bomb calorimeter proceeds at constant volume so, w = 0 and ΔU = q. The reaction is exothermic, releasing heat and lowering internal energy. Hence, ΔU < 0, w = 0.
