Accepted Answer

Correct Option: B. Solution: Internal energy is a state variable because it depends only on the state of the system, not on how that state was achieved. Heat, on the other hand, is a mode of energy transfer and not a state variable.

Question 3

Question 4

A gas undergoes an adiabatic process from an initial state $(P_1, V_1, T_1)$ to a final state $(P_2, V_2, T_2)$. If the specific heat ratio $\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$, what is the relation between the initial and final states?

Question 5

During an adiabatic process, a gas does 50 J of work on its surroundings. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: B. Solution: In an adiabatic process, there is no heat exchange with the surroundings ($Q = 0$). According to the first law of thermodynamics, $\Delta U = Q - W$. Since $Q = 0$, $\Delta U = -W$. Therefore, the internal energy decreases by 50 J.

Question 6

If 500 J of heat is supplied to 2 kg of a substance, causing its temperature to rise by 5 K, what is the specific heat capacity of the substance?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: B. Solution: Specific heat capacity $S$ is calculated using the formula $S = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$, where $Q = 500 	ext{ J}$, $m = 2 	ext{ kg}$, and $\Delta T = 5 	ext{ K}$. Therefore, $S = \frac{500}{2 	imes 5} = 50 	ext{ J/kg K}$.

Question 15

In an isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, what is the relationship between heat absorbed ($Q$) and work done ($W$)?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: C. Solution: In an isothermal process, the heat absorbed by the gas equals the work done by the gas, i.e., $Q = W$.

Question 16
