If \(\Delta Q\) is the heat flowing out of a system, \(\Delta W\) is the work done by the system on its surroundings, and \(\Delta U\) is the decrease in internal energy of the system, then the first law of thermodynamics can be stated as:
1. \(\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W\)
2. \(\Delta U=\Delta Q+\Delta W\)
3. \(\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W\)
4. \(\Delta U+\Delta Q+\Delta W=0\)

A thermodynamic process involving a system takes place with \(100~\text{J}\) of heat being rejected to the environment and an increase of \(20~\text{J}\) of internal energy. Then,
1. work done by the system is \(120~\text{J}.\)
2. work done on the system is \(120~\text{J}.\)
3. work done by the system is \(80~\text{J}.\) 
4. work done on the system is \(80~\text{J}.\)

If an average person jogs, he produces \(14.5 \times10^3\) cal/min. This is removed by the evaporation of sweat. The amount of sweat evaporated per minute (assuming \(1\) kg requires \(580 \times10^3\) cal for evaporation) is:

1. \(0.25\) kg 2. \(0.50\) kg
3. \(0.025\) kg 4. \(0.20\) kg

\(1~\text g\) of water of volume \(1~\text{cm}^3\) at \(100^\circ \text{C}\) is converted into steam at the same temperature under normal atmospheric pressure \(\approx 1\times10^{5}~\text{Pa}.\) The volume of steam formed equals \(1671~\text{cm}^3.\) If the specific latent heat of vaporization of water is \(2256~\text{J/g},\) the change in internal energy is:
1. \(2423~\text J\) 
2. \(2089~\text J\) 
3. \(167~\text J\) 
4. \(2256~\text J\)

The internal energy of a gas is given by \(U=\dfrac32PV.\) The gas expands in such a way that its internal energy (initially \(U_0\)) remains constant throughout the process, but its volume changes from \(V_0\) to \(2V_0.\) The heat supplied to the gas equals:
1. \(U_0\mathrm{ln}(2)\) 2. \(\dfrac12U_0~\mathrm{ln}(2)\)
3. \(\dfrac13U_0~\mathrm{ln}(2)\) 4. \(\dfrac23U_0~\mathrm{ln}(2)\)
