It is a general principle that the less energy a system contains,it is:

The relation between change in internal energy $(\Delta E)$,change in enthalpy $(\Delta H)$,and work done $(W)$ is represented as:

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic transformation starting from the point $A$ and coming back to the same point by tracing the path $A$ $\rightarrow B$ $\rightarrow C$ $\rightarrow D$ $\rightarrow A$ as shown in the three cases above. Choose the correct option regarding $\Delta U$.

$A$ system is changed from state $A$ to state $B$ by one path and from $B$ to $A$ by another path. If $E_1$ and $E_2$ are the corresponding changes in internal energy,then:

Exothermic reactions occur in which of the following processes?

$A$ gas is allowed to expand against a constant external pressure of $2.5 \ bar$ from an initial volume of $2.5 \ L$ to a final volume of $4.5 \ L$. What is the amount of work done (in $J$)?
