\(1~\text g\) 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. | \(2256~\text J\) |
A sample of \(0.1\) g of water at \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and normal pressure (\(1.013 \times10^5\) N m–2) requires \(54\) cal of heat energy to convert it into steam at \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). If the volume of the steam produced is \(167.1\) cc, then the change in internal energy of the sample will be:
| 1. | \(104.3\) J | 2. | \(208.7\) J |
| 3. | \(42.2\) J | 4. | \(84.5\) J |
The figure below shows two paths that may be taken by gas to go from state \(A\) to state \(C.\)

In process \(AB,\) \(400~\text{J}\) of heat is added to the system, and in process \(BC,\) \(100~\text{J}\) of heat is added to the system. The heat absorbed by the system in the process \(AC\) will be:
1. \(380~\text{J}\)
2. \(500~\text{J}\)
3. \(460~\text{J}\)
4. \(300~\text{J}\)
An ideal gas goes from state \(A\) to state \(B\) via three different processes as indicated in the \((P\text-V)\) diagram.
If \(Q_1,Q_2,Q_3\) indicate the heat absorbed by the gas along the three processes and \(\Delta U_1, \Delta U_2, \Delta U_3\) indicate the change in internal energy along the three processes respectively, then:
| 1. | \(Q_3>Q_2>Q_1\) and \(\Delta U_1= \Delta U_2= \Delta U_3\) |
| 2. | \(Q_1=Q_2=Q_3\) and \(\Delta U_1> \Delta U_2> \Delta U_3\) |
| 3. | \(Q_3>Q_2>Q_1\) and \(\Delta U_1> \Delta U_2> \Delta U_3\) |
| 4. | \(Q_1>Q_2>Q_3\) and \(\Delta U_1= \Delta U_2= \Delta U_3\) |
During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does \(-150\text{ J}\) of work against its surrounding. This implies that:
| 1. | \(300\text{ J}\) of heat has been added to the gas. |
| 2. | no heat is transferred because the process is isothermal. |
| 3. | \(150\text{ J}\) of heat has been added to the gas. |
| 4. | \(150\text{ J}\) of heat has been removed from the gas. |
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 |
| 3. | \(\Delta U=\Delta W\), in an adiabatic process |
| 4. | \(\Delta U=-\Delta W\), in an isothermal process |
The internal energy change in a system that has absorbed \(2\) kcal of heat and done \(500\) J of work is:
1. \(8900\) J
2. \(6400\) J
3. \(5400\) J
4. \(7900\) J
One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of \(T\) K does \(6R\) joules of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is \(5/3\), the final temperature of the gas will be:
1. \((T-2.4)\) K
2. \((T+4)\) K
3. \((T-4)\) K
4. \((T+2.4)\) K
| 1. | \(\Delta {U}=-{W}\) in an isothermal process. |
| 2. | \(\Delta {U}={W}\) in an isothermal process. |
