Thermodynamics Question 247

Question: When a system is taken a from state i to state f along the path iaf, it is found that Q=50 cal and W=20cal. , Along the path ibf Q=36 cal. W along the path ibf is

Options:

A) 14 cal

B) 6 cal

C) 16 cal

D) 66 cal

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] For path iaf, Q=50cal  W=20cal

By first law of thermodynamics, ΔU=QW=5020=30cal. For path ibf Q=36cal

W=? or, W=QΔU

Since, the change in internal energy does not depend on the path,

therefore ΔU=30cal

W=QΔU=3630=6cal.
