    $900 \,kJ$
  • B
    $-900 \,kJ$
  • C

Identify the process having $\Delta V = 0$.

Assertion : Absolute values of internal energy of substances cannot be determined.
Reason : It is impossible to determine exact values of constituent energies of the substances.

In thermodynamics,the $P-V$ work done is given by $w = -\int P_{ext} dV$. For a system undergoing a particular process,the work done is $w = -\int \left(\frac{RT}{V - b} - \frac{a}{V^2}\right) dV$. This equation is applicable to a:
