1.	Reduce to half	2.	Be Doubled
3.	Remain constant	4.	Increase four times

2. Less than Δ_fU°
3. Greater than Δ_fU°
4. Equal to Δ_fU°

Calculate the correct values of heat transfer (q), change in temperature (ΔT), and work done (W) for the free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic conditions.

The pressure-volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression $\mathrm{W}={\int }_{{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{i}}}^{{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{f}}}{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{ext}}d\mathrm{V}$.

The work can also be calculated from the pV-plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits.
An ideal gas is compressed (a) reversibly or (b) irreversibly from volume ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{i}}$ to ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{f}}$.
The correct option is:

1. $\mathrm{W}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>\left(\mathrm{reversible}\right)=\mathrm{W}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>\left(\mathrm{irreversible}\right)$

2. $\mathrm{W}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>\left(\mathrm{reversible}\right)<\mathrm{W}\hspace{0.17em}\left(\mathrm{irreversible}\right)$

3. $\mathrm{W}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>(\mathrm{reversible})\; >\mathrm{W}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>(\mathrm{irreversible})$

4. $\mathrm{W}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>\left(\mathrm{reversible}\right)=\mathrm{W}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>\left(\mathrm{irreversible}\right)+{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{ext}}.∆\mathrm{V}$

The entropy change can be calculated by using the expression $∆\mathrm{S}=\frac{{\mathrm{q}}_{\mathrm{rev}}}{\mathrm{T}}$. When water freezes in a glass beaker, the correct statement among the following is:

Based on the reactions, ascertain the valid algebraic relationship:

$∆H_r$ $$ $=$ $y$ $kJ$ $mo{l}^{-1}$
