Which one of the following equations does not correctly represent the first law of thermodynamics for the given processes involving an ideal gas? (Assume non- expansion work is zero)
Options
- AIsochoric process : Δ U = q
- BIsochoric process : q = – w
- CCyclic process : q = – w
- DAdiabatic process : Δ U = - w
Correct answer
D. Adiabatic process : Δ U = - w
Step-by-step solution
For cyclic process: Δ U = 0 ⇒ q = - w For isothermal process: Δ U = 0 ⇒ q = - w For adiabatic process: q = 0 ⇒ Δ U = w For isochoric process: w = 0 ⇒ Δ U = q
