(4) Answer : (2)

Hint:
Internal energy is state function, while heat given and work done is path function.
Formula : Q = ΔU + W

Given UA = 10 J, UB = 70 J, QBC = 100 J

Solution:
Work done from B to C = 0
Q = ΔU + W
100 = (UC – 70) + 0
UC = 170 J
Work done from C to A = – [Area of Δ + Area of □]

= – [200 + 400]
WCA = – 600 J
QCA = (UA – UC ) + W
QCA = (10 – 170) + [– 600 ]
QCA = – 760 J
or 760 J heat will be released.

(9) Answer : (4)

Hint:
Change in internal energy is the function of state only ⇒ ΔU1 = ΔU2 = ΔU3
Solution:
Q = ΔU + W
W = area under P – V diagram
Hence, W1 > W2 > W3
⇒ Q1 > Q2 > Q3

Hint:
ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW
Solution:
ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW
–100 = ΔU + 20
ΔU = –120 J

(17) Answer : (2)

Hint:
For adiabatic ΔQ = 0
Solution:
ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW
ΔU = –ΔW
As in expansion ΔW = Positive. Hence ΔU = Negative so temperature of the gas will decrease.

(20) Answer : (4)

Solution:
Since in the given case it is said that we compress the gas; the volume of the gas decreases. We know that as the
volume decrease, area also decreases. So, when the area decreases the number of collisions per unit area increases.
This causes the increase in pressure.
