What is the relation between enthalpy change and temperature change?
What is the relation between enthalpy change and temperature change?
- $\Delta H = q_p = mC_p \Delta T = VdC_p$
- $\Delta H = q_p = mC_p \Delta T = VdC_p \Delta T$ (correct)
- $\Delta H = mC_p \Delta T$
- $\Delta H = q_p = mC_p \Delta T$
