    How Fast is C Moving Relative to B?

    Homework Statement relative to A, B is moving towards A at a speed of 0.4c. Farther out C is moving towards A at a speed of 0.5c. all motion is along the x-axis how fast is C moving relative to B? Homework Equations U = (U' + V) / 1+ VU'/c^2 The Attempt at a Solution...

    Thermodynamics: internal energy change

    ΔH formation is +'ve shouldn't my answer be negative since the system has less potential energy. 1/2 H2 -> H

    Thermodynamics: internal energy change

    so then ΔU = ΔH -P(dv) ΔU = ΔH - ∫ nRT/V dv ΔU = ΔH - nRT ln(vf/vi) ΔU = 218kJ - 1 mol * 8.21 J/k Mol *298 K * ln2 ΔU = 216kJ ?

    Thermodynamics: internal energy change

    Homework Statement Enthalpy of formation of a mole of atomic hydrogen = 218kJ. Enthalpy changes when a mole of atomic hydrogen is formed by dissociating half a mole of molecular hydrogen. Calculate ΔU of the process of molecular hydrogen dissociation. Homework Equations ΔH = ΔU + Δ(PV)...
