DeltaU and DeltaH

[104969854]

When does deltaU equal deltaH?
Does this happen in isochoric or isobaric conditions? What about at constant heat?

occurs when the volume is constant. If you want to derive this, the equation for is . Thus, when there is no change in volume, and so . Thus, . Not 100% sure, but I hope this helped.

Delta U = Delta H when there is constant pressure and constant volume. Remember that Delta U = q +w. Delta H = q when there is constant pressure. w= -P Delta V. So when volume is constant, Delta V = 0. Therefore when there is constant pressure and volume, you can substitute q & w and get delta U = delta H.

What if there were a change in pressure?

Hi, I'm looking back at this and I'm just confused because your explanation totally makes sense with the equation you gave, and because I know that with constant volume work equals 0 so q=delta U. with your explanation, would this make delta H=delta U=q under constant volume, and people are saying that q is only equal to delta H under constant pressure....I'm just lost with the inconsistency and was wondering if you could elaborate a bit.
