$A$ gas expands against a variable pressure given by $P = \frac{20}{V}$ ($P$ in $atm$ and $V$ in $L$). During expansion from volume of $1 \ L$ to $10 \ L$,the gas undergoes an increase in internal energy of $400 \ J$. How much heat is absorbed by gas during expansion (in $J$)? (Given: $1 \ L \cdot atm = 101.3 \ J$)

The change in internal energy equals

Assertion : For a reaction $2NH_{3(g)} \to N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)}$ ; $\Delta H > \Delta E$.
Reason : Enthalpy change is always greater than internal energy change.
