$A$ mixture of gas expands from $0.03\, m^3$ to $0.06\, m^3$ at a constant pressure of $1\, MPa$ and absorbs $84\, kJ$ of heat during the process. The change in internal energy of the mixture is $.....\, kJ$.

For the formation of carbon monoxide $(CO)$ from its elements at $298 \, K$,the value of $(\Delta H - \Delta U)$ in $J \, mol^{-1}$ will be: $(R = 8.314 \, J K^{-1} mol^{-1})$

Assertion : For an isothermal reversible process $Q = -W$,i.e.,work done by the system equals the heat absorbed by the system.
Reason : Enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ is zero for an isothermal process.
