Solution

the reaction can be written as follows:

C2H4 + H2 → C2H6

the ratio of reactant is 1:1 and product is also forming in ratio of 1,∴ 50 ml of ethylene on reaction with 50 ml of H2 will produce 50 ml. of ethane. change in volume is 50ml (ethane)-100ml (C2H4 + H2) = 50ml= 0.05L

P ΔV=1.5*0.05= 0.075Latm = 7.5joules

ΔU = ΔH + P ΔV = -0.31KJ + 7.5J = -3025KJ
