dQ is the heat energy supplied to an ideal gas under isochoric conditions. If \(\mathrm{dU}\) and \(\mathrm{dW}\) denote the change in internal energy and the work done respectively then

  1. A \(\mathrm{dQ}=\mathrm{dW}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{dQ}>\mathrm{dU}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{dQ} < \mathrm{dU}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{dQ}=\mathrm{dU}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{dQ}=\mathrm{dU}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Under isochoric (constant volume) conditions, the heat energy (dQ) supplied to an ideal gas contributes solely to the change in its internal energy (dU).
Mathematically, this can be expressed as
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{dQ}=\mathrm{dU}+\mathrm{dW} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{dQ}=\mathrm{dU}
\end{aligned}
