    Solve by difficulty

    Which of the following is incorrect regarding the first law of thermodynamics?

    In a given process of an ideal gas dW=0 and dQ<0. Then for the gas

    An ideal gas is taken via path as shown in figure. The net work done in the whole cycle is

    First law of thermodynamics provides a relation between these quantities


     

    The correct 1st law equation for the isothermal process will be

    A total of $48 \mathrm{~J}$ heat is given to one mole of helium kept in a cylinder. The temperature of helium increases by $2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The work done by the gas is : (Given, $\mathrm{R}=8.3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.)

    Direction:  In the following question, a statement of Assertion (A)  is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as: 

    Assertion: First law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved.

    Reason: According to the first laws of thermodynamics SW=SQ+dv

    First law of Thermodynamics

    First law of thermodynamics - 

    According to it heat given to a system (Q) is equal to the sum of increase in its internal energy (U) and the work done (W) by the system against the surroundings.

                                 

    $$
    \Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W
    $$

    or For cyclic process

    $$
    \sum \Delta Q=\sum \Delta W
    $$
     

     

    Drawback of First law of thermodynamics -

    • First law of thermodynamics does not tell us reason about the direction of heat transfer.

     

    Important points - 

    1. Q and W are the path functions but U is the point function.

    2. First law of thermodynamics introduces the concept of internal energy.
