KCET2011ChemistryThermodynamics (C)
Based on the first law of thermodynamics, which one of the following is correct?
Options
- AFor an isothermal process, Q=+W
- BFor an isochoric process, U=-Q
- CFor an adiabatic process, U=-W
- DFor a cyclic process, Q=-W
Correct answer
D. For a cyclic process, Q=-W
Step-by-step solution
According to first law of thermodynamics, U=Q+W For cyclic process, change in internal energy aligned &=0 Q &=-W aligned Q=-W
