While doing an experiment on bomb calorimeter, a student made the following statement :
`DeltaH = DeltaU + pDeltaV`
Since in the experiment `DeltaV =0` hence `DeltaH = DeltaU`.Is the student right or wrong? Justify.

To determine whether the student's statement is correct or not, we need to analyze the relationship between enthalpy (ΔH) and internal energy (ΔU) in the context of a bomb calorimeter experiment. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship**: The relationship between enthalpy (H) and internal energy (U) is given by the equation: \[ \Delta H = \Delta U + P \Delta V ...

When asked to set up an experiment to show that 'light is necessary for photosynthesis', a student ran to the school garden and set up the experiment by using a plant growing in the school garden. The experiment failed. His classmates made the following suggestions to get success in the experiment: Student A: Safranin should be used instead of iodine Student B: The leaf should not be boiled in alcohol to remove chlorophyll before testing for starch Student C: Transparent paper should be used instead of black paper strip Student D: The leaf should be destarched before before starting the experiment The correct suggestion is given by:
