38. As the volume is adiabatically
decreased, temperature of the gas
increases and as the time elapsed,
temperature normalizes i.e., decreases
and so pressure also decreases.
39. As the compression is quick , the process
is adiabatic while leads to heating of the
gas.

38. As the volume is adiabatically
decreased, temperature of the gas
increases and as the time elapsed,
temperature normalizes i.e., decreases
and so pressure also decreases.
39. As the compression is quick , the process
is adiabatic while leads to heating of the
gas.

¢ Assertion & Reasons
1. In adiabatic expression, DW= + ( )ve
while DQ=0 and as according to first law 
of thermodynamics,
D D D Q U W = + Þ D D U W = -
i.e., DU = - ( ) ve this implies decrease in
temperature. So, Assertion and reason
are both true but not correct
explanation.
2. Assertion is false, as work done is a path
function and not a state function i.e., it
depends on the path through which the
gas was taken from initial to find state.
3. Assertion is false, as first law can be
applied for both real and ideal gases.
4. During melting of ice its volume
decreases, so work done by it is negative
and that by atmosphere is positive. So,
reason is true explanation of assertion.
5. As D D D Q U W = + Þ D D D U Q W = - ,
where DU is state function while DQ and 
DW are path function as for definite

38. As the volume is adiabatically
decreased, temperature of the gas
increases and as the time elapsed,
temperature normalizes i.e., decreases
and so pressure also decreases.
39. As the compression is quick , the process
is adiabatic while leads to heating of the
gas.

¢ Assertion & Reasons
1. In adiabatic expression, DW= + ( )ve
while DQ=0 and as according to first law 
of thermodynamics,
D D D Q U W = + Þ D D U W = -
i.e., DU = - ( ) ve this implies decrease in
temperature. So, Assertion and reason
are both true but not correct
explanation.
2. Assertion is false, as work done is a path
function and not a state function i.e., it
depends on the path through which the
gas was taken from initial to find state.
3. Assertion is false, as first law can be
applied for both real and ideal gases.
4. During melting of ice its volume
decreases, so work done by it is negative
and that by atmosphere is positive. So,
reason is true explanation of assertion.
5. As D D D Q U W = + Þ D D D U Q W = - ,
where DU is state function while DQ and 
DW are path function as for definite

initial and final state DU is constant and
so is Q W - . Thus assertion and reason
are both true  but not correct
explanation.
6. Carnot’s engine is ideal heat engine with 
maximum efficiency but it is not also
100%. So assertion and reason are both
true but not correct explanation.

Thus assertion is true but reason is

8. In adiabatic changes for free expansion, 
Q = 0, W = 0 and DU = 0
as in free expansion no work is done
against any force.
For ideal gases pV = constant as DU = 0
Þ T = constant So, assertion and reason 
are both true but not correct
explanation.
9. Assertion and reason are both true and
correct explanation.
10. Assertion and reason are both true and
