Which of the following relations between enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ and internal energy change $(\Delta U)$ is correct for the given reactions?

  • A
    $H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \to 2HI_{(g)}$; $\Delta n_g = 0$,so $\Delta H = \Delta U$
  • B
    $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \to 2NH_{3(g)}$; $\Delta n_g = -2$,so $\Delta H < \Delta U$
  • C
    $2SO_{3(g)} \to 2SO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}$; $\Delta n_g = +1$,so $\Delta H > \Delta U$
  • D
    All of the above

An organic compound $C_xH_yO_z$ on complete combustion provides equivolume of products $CO_{2(g)}$ and $H_2O_{(g)}$,which is individually double the volume of the organic compound taken. In the process,the volume of oxygen consumed is the same as the volume of $CO_2$ produced,and the liberated heat during combustion is $500 \ kcal/mol$ at constant pressure and $500 \ K$. The formula of the organic compound and $\Delta U$ for the reaction will be:
