In a thermodynamics process,the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas releases $20 \ J$ of heat and $8 \ J$ of work is done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was $30 \ J$,what will be the final internal energy in $J$?

$1 \text{ cm}^3$ of water at its boiling point absorbs $540 \text{ calories}$ of heat to become steam with a volume of $1671 \text{ cm}^3$. If the atmospheric pressure = $1.013 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2$ and the mechanical equivalent of heat = $4.19 \text{ J/calorie}$, the energy spent in this process in overcoming intermolecular forces is ..... $\text{cal}$. (in $\text{cal}$)

Which of the following laws of thermodynamics defines the term internal energy?

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

$1 \,g$ of water at $100^{\circ} C$ is completely converted into steam at $100^{\circ} C$. $1 \,g$ of steam occupies a volume of $1650 \,cc$. (Neglect the volume of $1 \,g$ of water at $100^{\circ} C$). At the pressure of $10^5 \,N/m^2$, the latent heat of steam is $540 \,cal/g$ $(1 \,calorie = 4.2 \,joule)$. The increase in the internal energy (in joule) is:

The first law of thermodynamics is a special case of:
