Which of the following set of properties is correct when one mole of a gas is heated keeping volume constant by increasing temperature and supplying 500 J of heat?

  1. A \(\mathrm{q}=\mathrm{w}=500 \mathrm{~J}, \Delta \mathrm{U}=0\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{q}=\Delta \mathrm{U}=500 \mathrm{~J}, \mathrm{w}=0\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{q}=\Delta \mathrm{U}=-500 \mathrm{~J}, \mathrm{w}=0\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{q}=500 \mathrm{~J}, \Delta \mathrm{U}=\mathrm{w}=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{q}=\Delta \mathrm{U}=500 \mathrm{~J}, \mathrm{w}=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Heat is supplied to the system.
\(\therefore \quad q=500 \mathrm{~J}\)
At constant volume, \(\Delta \mathrm{V}=0\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{w}=-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{ext}} \Delta \mathrm{~V}=0\)
According to the first law of thermodynamics,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \Delta \mathrm{U}=\mathrm{q}+\mathrm{w} \\
& \therefore \quad \Delta U=500+0=500 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}\)
