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
    $-43$

In how many ways can the internal energy of a system be changed?

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 $1671 \,cm^{3}$.

$200\,g$ of water is heated from $40\,^{\circ}C$ to $60\,^{\circ}C$. Ignoring the slight expansion of water,the change in its internal energy is close to ...... $kJ$ (Given specific heat of water $= 4184\,J/kg\cdot K$)

For a thermodynamic process $\delta Q = -50 \text{ calorie}$ and $W = -20 \text{ calorie}$. If the initial internal energy is $-30 \text{ calorie}$,then the final internal energy will be ....... $\text{calorie}$.
