First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 1

One mole of an ideal gas expands adiabatically from temperature T1 to temperature T2. The work done by the gas is
Select one:

Detailed Solution: Question 1

We have ΔU = ∫(T2 to T1) CvdT − Cv(T2−T1)
Since the process is adiabatic, dQ = 0
ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW

ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW
∴ ΔW = −ΔU

= −Cv(T2−T1)

= Cv(T1−T2)

First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 2

The pressure-volume graph of an ideal gas cycle consisting of isothermal and adiabatic process is shown in the figure. The adiabatic process is described by

Select one:

Detailed Solution: Question 2

BC and DA represent the adiabatic expansion and the compression since we know that the adiabatic curves are more steeper than isothermal curves.
The correct answer is: AD and BC

First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 3

A water fall is 168m high. Assuming that half the kinetic energy of the falling water gets converted into heat, the rise in temperature of water is approximately (take g = 10m/s2)

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Potential energy per kilogram at height h is g×h. If half of this energy becomes heat, heat per kilogram = (g×h)/2. The temperature rise ΔT is heat divided by specific heat c:

ΔT = (g×h)/(2×c).

Substitute g = 10 m/s2, h = 168 m, c = 4200 J/kg·K:

ΔT = (10×168)/(2×4200) = 1680/8400 = 0.2 °C.

First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 4

One gram of water on evaporation at atmospheric pressure forms 1671cm3 of steam. Heat of vaporization at this pressure is 540 cal/g. Calculate the increase in the internal energy. (Atmospheric pressure = 1×105N/m2)

Select one:

Detailed Solution: Question 4

First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 5

A sample of gas expands from volume V1 to V2. The amount of work done by the gas in greatest when the expansion is.
Select one:

Detailed Solution: Question 5

pV curves for 3 processes are show is below. Note that the area under isobaric curve is maximum



The correct answer is: isobaric

First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 6

One gram of water on evaporation at atmospheric pressure forms 1671cm3 of steam. Heat of vaporization at this pressure is 540 cal/g. The increase in internal energy is
Select one:

Detailed Solution: Question 6




or


∴ 
The correct answer is: 500 cal

First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 7

Heat capacity of a substance is infinite. It means :
Select one:

Detailed Solution: Question 7

When a substance has an infinite heat capacity, it means that its temperature does not change regardless of how much heat is added or removed. This implies that no change in temperature occurs as heat is absorbed or released.

First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 8

A system changes from the state (p1, V1 ) to the state (p2, V2 ) as shown in the figure. The work done by the system is.

Select one:

Detailed Solution: Question 8


Work done = Area of graph ABD;
From above we get,
Area = 1/2 × 4 (1 × 105 + 5 × 105) = 2 × 6 × 105   = 12 × 105J

First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 9

A body of mass 25kg is dragged on a rough horizontal road for one hour with a speed of 20km/hr.
If the coefficient of friction is 0.5 and half of the heat produced is absorbed by the body, the rise in its temperature is (specific heat of body = 0.1cal/g ºC, g = 10m/s2)
Select one:

Detailed Solution: Question 9

Distance traveled in one hour,
S = 20km

Now,⇒ 

The correct answer is: 119ºC

First Law Of Thermodynamics MCQ Level – 2 (Part - 1) - Question 10

A gas, for which γ is 4/3, is heated at constant pressure. The percentage of heat supplied used for external work.
Select one:

Detailed Solution: Question 10
