    $\Delta H$ is always greater than $\Delta E$
  • B
    $\Delta H < \Delta E$ only if the number of moles of the products is greater than the number of the reactants
  • C
    $\Delta H$ is always less than $\Delta E$
  • $\Delta H < \Delta E$ only if the number of moles of the products is less than the number of moles of the reactants
