JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 5. Thermodynamics and thermochemistry

Which one of the following equations does not correctly represent the first law of thermodynamics for the given processes involving an ideal gas? (Assume non -expansion work is zero)

  1. A Isochoric process: \(\Delta U =  q\)
  2. B Adiabatic process: \(\Delta U =  - w\)
  3. C Cyclic process: \(q = -w\)
  4. D Isothermal process:  \(q = -w\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Adiabatic process: \(\Delta U =  - w\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the first law of thermodynamics \(q=\Delta U-w\) For cyclic process : \(\Delta U = 0 \Rightarrow q = - w\) For isothermal process : \(\Delta U = 0 \Rightarrow q = - w\) For adiabatic process : \(q = 0 \Rightarrow \Delta U = W\) For isochoric process :…
