When a system is taken from thermodynamic state $i$ to $f$ along the path $iaf$ (see figure),it is found that the heat $Q$ absorbed by the system is $50 \ cal$ and the work $W$ done by the system is $20 \ cal$. Along the path $ibf$,$Q = 36 \ cal$. What is the work $W$ done along the path $ibf$ (in $cal$)?

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $18$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    $-43$

Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding the first law of thermodynamics?

$A$ gas is at a constant pressure of $4 \times 10^5 \,N/m^2$. When a heat energy of $2000 \,J$ is supplied to the gas, its volume changes by $3 \times 10^{-3} \,m^3$. What is the increase in its internal energy (in $\,J$)?

Calculate the change in internal energy when $1 \,g$ of water is converted into steam at atmospheric pressure $(1.013 \times 10^{5} \,Pa)$. Given the latent heat of vaporisation is $2256 \,J/g$, the volume of $1 \,g$ of water is $1 \,cm^{3}$, and the volume of $1 \,g$ of steam is $1671 \,cm^{3}$.

The first law of thermodynamics is concerned with the conservation of
