Thank you very much for your help. I think the ideal gas term term is just included as a convenient conversion between change in internal energy and enthalpy change when the heat is measured in a bomb calorimeter (constant volume). What do you think?
Hi! I'm new to the forums and currently reading about Chemical Thermodynamics. So here's what I know:
ΔE = q - w
So for constant volume reactions, no work is done hence:
ΔE = q
But for constant pressure reactions, heat be may released (for exothermic reactions) and work is done hence:
ΔE =...
