1   kg of water at 100 C is converted into steam at 100 C by boiling at atmospheric pressure. The volume of water changes from 1.00 × 10 3   m 3 as a liquid to 1.671   m 3 as steam. The change in internal energy of the system during the process will be

(Given latent heat of vaporisaiton = 2257   kJ / kg , Atmospheric pressure = 1 × 10 5   Pa )

(A) + 2090 kJ

(B) 2426 kJ

(C) + 2476 kJ

(D) 2090 kJ

Correct answer is (A)

To find the change in internal energy, we need to consider both the heat added during the process and the work done during the process.

First, let's calculate the heat added ( Q ) to convert 1 kg of water at 100°C into steam at 100°C using the latent heat of vaporization:

Q = m × L

where m = 1   kg and L = 2257   kJ / kg :

Q = 1   kg × 2257   kJ / kg = 2257   kJ

Next, let's calculate the work done ( W ) on the system during the process. The work done is given by:

W = P Δ V

where P is the atmospheric pressure and Δ V is the change in volume. We are given that the atmospheric pressure is P = 1 × 10 5   Pa , and the change in volume is

Δ V = 1.671   m 3 1.00 × 10 3   m 3 = 1.670   m 3 .

Now, we can calculate the work done:

W = ( 1 × 10 5   Pa ) ( 1.670   m 3 ) = 167000   J = 167   kJ

Finally, we can find the change in internal energy ( Δ U ) using the first law of thermodynamics:

Δ U = Q + W

Substitute the values of Q and W :

Δ U = 2257   kJ 167   kJ = 2090   kJ

The change in internal energy of the system during the process is +2090 kJ.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: If heat is added to a system, its temperature must increase.

Statement II: If positive work is done by a system in a thermodynamic process, its volume must increase.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

(B) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

(C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

(D) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Correct answer is (B)

Statement I: If heat is added to a system, its temperature must increase. This statement is not necessarily true. For example, in a phase transition (like melting or boiling), heat can be added to a system without increasing its temperature. The added heat energy is used to break intermolecular bonds and change the phase of the substance, not to increase the kinetic energy of the particles (which would raise the temperature).

Statement II: If positive work is done by a system in a thermodynamic process, its volume must increase. This statement is generally true, as positive work being done by a system often involves expansion against an external pressure, thus increasing its volume.

3. (JEE Main 2023 (Online) 6th April Morning Shift )

A source supplies heat to a system at the rate of 1000   W . If the system performs work at a rate of 200   W . The rate at which internal energy of the system increases is

(A) 600 W

(B) 1200 W

(C) 500 W

(D) 800 W

Correct answer is (D)

The rate of increase of internal energy of a system can be found using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system.

In this case, the heat being supplied to the system is 1000 W and the work being done by the system is 200 W.

Therefore, the rate at which the internal energy of the system increases is:

1000 W (heat supplied) - 200 W (work done) = 800 W

So, the correct answer is 800 W.

4. (JEE Main 2023 (Online) 31st January Morning Shift )

The pressure of a gas changes linearly with volume from A to B as shown in figure. If no heat is supplied to or extracted from the gas then change in the internal energy of the gas will be

JEE Main 2023 (Online) 31st January Morning Shift Physics - Heat and Thermodynamics Question 46 English

(A) 6 J

(B) 4.5 J

(C) zero

(D) 4.5 J

Correct answer is (B)

Δ Q = 0

Δ U = W = [ 1 2 × ( 50 + 10 ) × 10 3 × 150 × 10 6 ] = 4.5   J

5. (JEE Main 2023 (Online) 29th January Morning Shift )

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: If d Q and d W represent the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system respectively. Then according to the first law of thermodynamics d Q = d U d W .

Reason R: First law of thermodynamics is based on law of conservation of energy.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A

(B) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

(C) A is correct but R is not correct

(D) A is not correct but R is correct

Correct answer is (B)

Heat supplied to the system = d Q

Work done on the system = d W

By the first law of thermodynamics, d Q = d U + d W

We done the work, therefore,

d Q = d U + ( d W ) = d U d W

So, both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
