Enthelpy of Reaction under Constant Volume?

AI Thread Summary
Enthalpy is defined as the sum of internal energy and the product of pressure and volume, represented by the equation H = U + PV. Under constant volume conditions, the work done is zero, leading to the conclusion that internal energy equals heat added (U = q). The discussion highlights that while enthalpy incorporates pressure changes, under isochoric conditions, the relationship simplifies to dH = dQ + Vdp. The key takeaway is that enthalpy and internal energy are related, but their definitions and calculations differ based on the conditions applied. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for correctly applying thermodynamic principles.

Homework Statement


So we know Enthalpy under constant Pressure and Internal Energy under Constant Volume. By

H = U + dPdV

U= I + W

W= -PdV

under Isobaric conditions


H = I -PdV + dPdV
= U

Enthalpy = Internal Energy
_________________________________________
Under Isochoric Conditions
W= O because change in V =o

so U = q + 0
Internal Energy = q

But wouldn't Enthalpy also = q under constant volume since dPdV = 0 as well if volume isn't changing?

Homework Equations


H = U + dPdV

U= I + W

W= -PdV

Am i confusing the dPdV specific to enthalpy and PdV in work?

Looks confusing. what's the question?

H = U + PV so dH = dU + pdV + Vdp
dH = dU + Vdp under isochoric
but dU = dQ - pdV = dQ under isochoric
so dH = dQ + Vdp under isochoric.

Is that something like what you're looking for?

Yeah. I see. So Enthalpy = Internal Energy + Change in Pressure times volume.
While change in internal energy (dU) = q + Change in Volume times pressure.

is this correct?

enthalpy = internal energy plus pressure times volume ... basic statement, always true
change in internal energy = heat added minus pressure times change in volume. "Change" should read "differential change". To get change you integrate differential changes.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
