In an isothermal expansion,the increase in volume with a decrease in pressure of a gas is greater than in an adiabatic expansion,because .............
- AThe internal energy of the system does not change in isothermal and adiabatic expansion.
- BThe temperature remains constant in isothermal expansion,whereas the temperature decreases in adiabatic expansion.
- CIn isothermal expansion $q = w$,whereas in adiabatic expansion $\Delta U = w$.
- DWork is done by the system in an isothermal process,whereas work is done on the system in an adiabatic process.

View SolutionIn a $1 \, L$ container,$2 \, mol$ of $CO$ and $1 \, mol$ of $O_2$ are taken. They react according to the equation: $2CO(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$,$\Delta H = -560 \, kJ$. Given that $1 \, atm \cdot L = 0.1 \, kJ$,and the pressure changes from $70 \, atm$ to $40 \, atm$ at $500 \, K$,calculate the value of $\Delta U$ in $kJ$.

View SolutionAn ideal gas is subjected to a cyclic process involving four thermodynamic states. The amounts of heat $(Q)$ and work $(W)$ involved in each of these processes are:
$Q_1 = 6000 \, J, Q_2 = -5500 \, J, Q_3 = -3000 \, J, Q_4 = 3500 \, J$
$W_1 = 2500 \, J, W_2 = -1000 \, J, W_3 = -1200 \, J, W_4 = x \, J$
The ratio of the net work done by the gas to the total heat absorbed by the gas is $\eta$. The values of $|x|$ and $\eta$ respectively are:
$Q_1 = 6000 \, J, Q_2 = -5500 \, J, Q_3 = -3000 \, J, Q_4 = 3500 \, J$
