Question
State why heat changes in physical and chemical processes are indicated by enthalpy changes and not by internal energy changes.
✓
Answer
Most of the processes are carried out in open container, at constant pressure. Therefore, enthalpy changes indicate heat changes in processes and not internal energy changes. Enthalpy changes are measured at constant pressure where as internal energy change is measured at constant volume.

Diethyl ether is mostly used in solvent extraction due to all of the following reasons except:
- Its solvation capacity is very high.
- Being inert, it does not react with most organic compound.
- There are two lone pairs in it, therefore it acts as a strong nucleophile.
- Its boiling point is low, therefore, it can be easily separated by distillation.
