Thermodynamics Question 372

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

Options:

A) 18J

B) 9J

C) 4.5J

D) 36J

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Given ΔQ=20J,

ΔW=8J and U1=30J ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW

Therefore ΔU=(ΔQΔW)

Therefore (UfUi) = (Uf30)=20(8)

Therefore Uf=18J
