If \(\Delta U\) and \(\Delta W\) represent the increase in internal energy and work done by the system respectively in a thermodynamical process, which of the following is true?
1. | \(\Delta U=-\Delta W\), in an adiabatic process |
2. | \(\Delta U=\Delta W\) , in an isothermal process |

During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does -150 J of work against its surrounding. This implies that:
1. | 300 J of heat has been added to the gas. |
2. | no heat is transferred because the process is isothermal. |
3. | 150 J of heat has been added to the gas. |
4. | 150 J of heat has been removed from the gas. |
When \(1\) kg of ice at \(0^{\circ}\) C melts into the water at \(0^{\circ}\) C, the resulting change in its entropy, taking the latent heat of ice to be \(80\) cal/gm, is:
1. \(8\times 10^4\) cal/K
2. \(80\) cal/K
3. \(293\) cal/K
4. \(273\) cal/K
One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state \(A\) to the final state \(B\) with two processes. It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume \(V\) to \(3V\) and then its volume is reduced from \(3V\) to \(V\) at constant pressure. The correct \((P-V)\) diagram representing the two processes is:
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. |
