Which of the following statements is true concerning the decomposition of liquid water to form hydrogen gas and oxygen gas? 2H20(1) → 2H2(g) + O2(g) -> a. AH is less than AU because of the pressure-volume work done by the gaseous products. b. AH equals AU because both are state functions. c. AH is greater than AU because of the pressure- volume work done by the gaseous products. d. AH is greater than AU because the pressure is constant. e. AH is less than AU because the atmosphere does pressure-volume work on the gaseous products.

Question
Which of the following statements is
true concerning the decomposition
of liquid water to form hydrogen
gas and oxygen gas?
2H20(1) → 2H2(g) + O2(g)
a. AH is less than AU because of
the pressure-volume work
done by the gaseous
products.
b. AH equals AU because both
are state functions.
c. AH is greater than AU
because of the pressure-
volume work done by the
gaseous products.
• d. AH is greater than AU
because the pressure is
constant.
e. AH is less than AU because
the atmosphere does
pressure-volume work on the
gaseous products.
