$A$ unit mass of a liquid with volume $V_1$ is completely changed into a gas of volume $V_2$ at a constant external pressure $P$ and temperature $T$. If the latent heat of evaporation for the given mass is $L$,then the increase in the internal energy of the system is:

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $P(V_2 - V_1)$
  • C
    $L - P(V_2 - V_1)$
  • D
    $L$

$A$ thermodynamic system is changed from state $(P_1, V_1)$ to $(P_2, V_2)$ by two different processes. The quantity which will remain the same is

$1\,g$ of water at $100\,^{\circ}C$ and $10^5\,Pa$ pressure converts into $1841\,cm^3$ of steam at constant temperature and pressure. If the latent heat of vaporization of water is $2250\,J/g$,the change in internal energy of water in this process is ..... $J$.

If $\Delta Q$ and $\Delta W$ represent the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system respectively,then the first law of thermodynamics can be written as,where $\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy.

In a thermodynamic process,the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas releases $30 \,J$ of heat and $18 \,J$ of work is done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was $60 \,J$,what will be the final internal energy (in $\,J$)?
