How can you transform the equation to calculate delta U from delta H?

So the equation

\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta (PV)<br /> <br />

I know you can transform this equation into the form


\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta (nRT)<br /> <br />

I commonly see the previous equation transferred into the following


\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n(RT)<br />

What I want to know is.. can you transform it into

\Delta H = \Delta U + nR \Delta T<br />

I'd say so. But only if n is constant. What are you trying to do?
 
It was really in relation to this problem

Calculate the values of delta U, delta S, and delta H for the following process

1 mole of liquid water at 25 c and 1 atm to 1 mole of steam at 100 c and 1 atm

I figured out the delta H for the entire process.

then I tried to figure out delta U from delta H using the relationship

delta H = delta U + delta (nRT)

See the thing is... delta H I figured out is for the entire process (temperature rise and state change) and I forget about that.. so I was tryign to get the equation into the form

delta H = delta U + n x delta T x R

but that isn't right since delta H already included the delta T variable. and n is really delta n = 1 since I generated 1 mole of gas.

so yeah all I had to do was times it by T to the right answer

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
