Q1 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (08 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

Which one of the following equations does not correctly represent the first law of thermodynamics for the given processes involving an ideal gas? (Assume non- expansion work is zero)

  • A
    Isochoric process : ΔU=q
  • B
    Isochoric process : q= –w
  • C
    Cyclic process : q= –w
  • Correct answer
    D
    Adiabatic process : ΔU=-w

Solution

For cyclic process: ΔU=0⇒q=-w
For isothermal process: ΔU=0⇒q=-w
For adiabatic process: q=0⇒ΔU=w
For isochoric process: w=0⇒ΔU=q

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