Thermodynamics Question 343

Question: 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

Options:

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

B) $ \Delta Q=\Delta U-\Delta W $

C) $ \Delta Q=\Delta W-\Delta U $

D) $ \Delta Q=-\Delta W-\Delta U $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] From FLOT$ \Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W $

Q Heat supplied to the system so DQ Positive

and work is done on the system so DW Negative

Hence +DQ = DU - DW
