Q39 / 180 · KCET 2025 · Chemistry

Given below are two statements. Statement-I : Adiabatic work done is positive when work is done on the system and internal energy of the system increases. Statement - II : No work is done during free expansion of an ideal gas. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both statements - I and Statement - II are false
  • B
    Statement - I is true but statement - II is false
  • C
    Statement - I is false but statement - II is true
  • Correct answer
    D
    Both statements - I and Statement - II are true.

Solution

S-I : In adiabatic process $\Delta \mathrm{U}=\mathrm{W}$ and work done on the system is positive there fore internal energy increses. S-II : When external pressure is zero, work done is zero

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
