Solution
Relation between ΔH and ΔU
The heat of reaction is given by enthalpy change
ΔH=H2 - H1
by defination H= U+PV
H1=U1+P1V1
H2=U2+P2V2
ΔH = (U1+P1V1) - (U2+P2V2)
=(U2-U1)+(P2V2-P1V1)
=ΔU+(P2V2-P1V1)(∵ΔU=U2-U1)
since PV=nRT
for initial state P1V1=n1RT
for final state P2V2=n2RT
P2V2-P1V1=n2RT-n1RT
=(n2-n)RT
=ΔnRT
where Δn = number of moles of gaseous product - number of moles of gaseous reactant.
| ΔH=ΔU+ΔnRT |

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

Oxidation-reduction reactions are commonly known as redox reactions. They involve transfer of electrons from one species to another. In a spontaneous reaction, energy is released which can be used to do useful work. The reaction is split into two half-reactions. Two different containers are used and a wire is used to drive the electrons from one side to the other and a Voltaic/Galvanic cell is created. It is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. A salt bridge also connects to the half-cells. The reading of the voltmeter gives the cell voltage or cell potential or electromotive force. If \[\ce{E^0_{cell}}\] is positive the reaction is spontaneous and if it is negative the reaction is non-spontaneous and is referred to as electrolytic cell. Electrolysis refers to the decomposition of a substance by an electric current. One mole of electric charge when passed through a cell will discharge half a mole of a divalent metal ion such as Cu2+. This was first formulated by Faraday in the form of laws of electrolysis.
