Which of the following relations are correct?
(A) $$\Delta U = q + p\Delta V$$
(B) $$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$$
(C) $$\Delta S = \frac{q_{rev}}{T}$$
(D) $$\Delta H = \Delta U - \Delta nRT$$
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
We need to identify which thermodynamic relations are correct.
(A) $$\Delta U = q + p\Delta V$$
The first law of thermodynamics states: $$\Delta U = q + w$$.
For work done on the system at constant pressure: $$w = -p\Delta V$$ (IUPAC convention).
So $$\Delta U = q - p\Delta V$$, not $$q + p\Delta V$$.
Statement (A) is incorrect.
(B) $$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$$
The Gibbs free energy is defined as $$G = H - TS$$.
At constant temperature: $$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$$.
Statement (B) is correct.
(C) $$\Delta S = \frac{q_{rev}}{T}$$
By definition, the entropy change for a reversible process at constant temperature is:
$$\Delta S = \frac{q_{rev}}{T}$$
Statement (C) is correct.
(D) $$\Delta H = \Delta U - \Delta nRT$$
The correct relation between enthalpy and internal energy for ideal gases is:
$$\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n_g RT$$
Statement (D) has a minus sign instead of a plus sign, so it is incorrect.
Conclusion: Only statements B and C are correct.
The correct answer is Option B: B and C only.
