Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

The definition of enthalpy change is

  ΔH = ΔU + Pex(ΔV)

  The enthalpy change is zero because both terms on the right are zero in free expansion of an ideal gas.

  There is no external pressure in a free expansion, so P (ex) = 0. And the internal energy change, ΔU of free expansion in a closed system is zero since no inter molecular forces have to be overcome. The temperature remains constant and no heat is absorbed or released.
