Solution

The correct option is B C2H4(g)+H2(g)C2H6(g)
The reaction for which Δng0, ΔHΔU because ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT
Δng=nPnR
(where, nP and nR represents the number of moles of gaseous products and reactants respectively.)
(a) C(graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g); Δng=nPnR=11=0
(b) C2H4(g)+H2(g)C2H6(g); Δng=12=1
(c) 2C(graphite)+H2(g)C2H2(g); Δng=11=0
(d) H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g); Δng=22=0
(e) N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g); Δng=22=0
Thus, for the reaction given in option (b), ΔHΔU.
