Answer

$\Delta h_{argon} = -26.02\ kJ/kg$ The change in enthalpy would be different because the two substances have different $c_p$s.

Work Step by Step

Assuming $c_{p,avg} \approx c_{p,300K}$: $\Delta h = c_p\Delta T$ For argon ($c_p = 0.5203\ kJ/kg.K $) and with $\Delta T = -50\ K$: $\Delta h = -26.02\ kJ/kg$ For neon ($c_p = 1.0299\ kJ/kg.K $): $\Delta h = -51.50\ kJ/kg$
