Chapter 5, Problem 112AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The smallest difference between $\Delta H\text{ and }\Delta U$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The change in enthalpy for any process is calculated as follows:

$\Delta H=\Delta U+P\Delta V$

Here, $\Delta H$ is enthalpy change, $\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy, $\Delta V$ is change in volume, and P is the pressure.

The volume change is calculated as follows:

$\Delta V=V_{\text{final}}-V_{\text{initial}}$

Here, $\Delta V$ is change in volume, $V_{\text{final}}$ is the final volume, and $V_{\text{initial}}$ is the initial volume.
