Analyze the two statements below.
(A) When heat is supplied to a system, its temperature must rise.
(B) When a system does positive work during a thermodynamic process, its volume must increase.

Options

  1. ABoth A and B are true
  2. BA is true but B is false
  3. CB is true but A is false
  4. DBoth A and B are false

Correct answer

C. B is true but A is false

Step-by-step solution

Statement (A) is false because during an isothermal process or a phase change (such as melting or boiling), heat is supplied to the system but its temperature remains constant.

Statement (B) is true because the work done by a thermodynamic system is given by W=∫PdVW = \int P dV. Since absolute pressure PP is always positive, positive work (W>0W > 0) implies that the change in volume dVdV must be positive, meaning the volume must increase.

Hence, B is true but A is false.
