Observe the following reaction: $ABO_{3(s)} \xrightarrow{1000 \ K} AO_{(s)} + BO_{2(g)}$. $\Delta_{r} H$ for this reaction is $x \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. What is its $\Delta_{r} U$ (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) at the same temperature? $(R = 8.3 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1})$

At $300 \ K$,the enthalpy change for the reaction $C_3H_8(g) + 5O_2(g) \rightarrow 3CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(l)$ is $-2800 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. Calculate the internal energy change $(\Delta U)$ for the reaction at the same temperature.

If $100 \ L$ of an ideal gas at a pressure of $2 \ atm$ is compressed isothermally and reversibly to a final volume of '$X$' $L$ and releases $460.6 \ L \ atm$ of heat,the final volume '$X$' (in $L$) is

Joule-Thomson expansion is:

$A$ gas can be taken from state $A$ to state $B$ via two different paths $ACB$ and $ADB$. When path $ACB$ is used, $60 \text{ J}$ of heat flows into the system and $30 \text{ J}$ of work is done by the system. If path $ADB$ is used, the work done by the system is $10 \text{ J}$. The heat flow into the system in path $ADB$ is: (in $text{ J}$)
