Question:medium

At \(298\,K\), the value of \((\Delta H-\Delta U)\) for the combustion of 1 mole of \[ C_4H_{10}(g) \] is \(x\) kJ and for the combustion of 1 mole of glucose, the value of \[ (\Delta H-\Delta U) \] is \(y\) kJ. The value of \((x-y)\) (in kJ) is \[ (R=8.3\ \text{J K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}) \]

Show Hint

For chemical reactions involving gases: \[ \boxed{\Delta H-\Delta U=\Delta n_gRT} \] Only gaseous species are counted while calculating \(\Delta n_g\). Solids and liquids are ignored.
