DEFINE THE INTERNAL ENERGY, ENTHALPY, AND SPECIFIC HEATS OF IDEAL GASES.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Internal Energy

The contained energy inside any system or the substance which is required to create the system into any internal state is known as the internal energy of the system. For the ideal gas the change in internal energy is the

Change in internal energy=Internal energy at final state-Internal energy at initial state

Enthalpy

The summation of the internal energy of the system to the product between the pressure and volume of the system is known as the enthalpy of the system.

For ideal gas enthalpy is

H=U+PV

Specific Heats

Ratio between the heat capacity of the sample of any substance to the mass of that sample is known as the specific heat of system.
