Since heat is absorbed here at constant pressure so ΔH=1440 calories
ΔU can be calculated by using the formula ΔU=ΔH−PΔV
P=1atm, ΔV=0.0196L−0.180L=0.0016L
P ΔV=1∗0.0016=0.0016Latm=0.0016∗24.217calories. (1Latm=24.217 calories)
So ΔU=1440cal−0.0016∗24.217cal≈1439.96calories .There is negligible work done here.
so you can write ΔH≈ΔU.

question mark

In the reaction A + 2B ⇌ 2C, if 2 moles of A, 3 moles of B and 2 moles of C are placed in a 2 L flask and
the equilibrium concentration of C is 0.5 mol/L. The equilibrium constant (KC) for the reaction is.....and please tell how you know that the reaction is going forward .. imean how to calculate the reaction quotient ???
