If amount of heat given to a system is \(50 \mathrm{~J}\) and work done on the system is \(15 \mathrm{~J}\), then change in internal energy of the system is (A) \(35 \mathrm{~J}\) (B) \(50 \mathrm{~J}\) (C) \(65 \mathrm{~J}\) (D) \(15 \mathrm{~J}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The change in internal energy of the system is \(35 \mathrm{~J}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the given values

In this problem, we are given the amount of heat given to the system (Q) as 50 J and the work done on the system (W) as 15 J.
02

Recall the First Law of Thermodynamics

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that "the change in the internal energy (∆U) of a system is equal to the heat added to the system (Q) minus the work done by the system (W)". Mathematically, this can be written as: \(∆U = Q - W\)
03

Substitute the given values

Now, plug in the given values of Q and W into the formula: \(∆U = 50 \mathrm{~J} - 15 \mathrm{~J}\)
04

Calculate the change in internal energy

Calculate the difference between the heat given to the system and the work done on the system: \(∆U = 35 \mathrm{~J}\) So the correct answer is (A) \(\bold{35 \mathrm{~J}}\). The change in internal energy of the system is 35 J.

A Carnot engine takes \(3 \times 10^{6}\) cal of heat from a reservoir at \(627^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and gives it to a sink at \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The work done by the engine is [2003] (A) \(4.2 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}\) (B) \(8.4 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}\) (C) \(16.8 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}\) (D) Zero

A Carnot engine, whose efficiency is \(40 \%\), takes heat from a source maintained at a temperature of \(500 \mathrm{~K}\). It is desired to have an engine of efficiency \(60 \%\). Then, the intake temperature for the same exhaust (sink) temperature must be: [2012] (A) Efficiency of Carnot engine cannot be made larger than \(50 \%\) (B) \(1200 \mathrm{~K}\) (C) \(750 \mathrm{~K}\) (D) \(600 \mathrm{~K}\)

A Carnot engine, having an efficiency of \(\eta=\frac{1}{10}\) as heat engine is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is \(10 \mathrm{~J}\), the amount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is [2007] (A) \(99 \mathrm{~J}\) (B) \(90 \mathrm{~J}\) (C) \(1 \mathrm{~J}\) (D) \(100 \mathrm{~J}\)

The total \(\mathrm{KE}\) in joules of all the molecules of \(N_{2}\) having the same volume \(V\) and exerting a pressure \(2 P\) is (A) 3000 (B) 4000 (C) 5000 (D) 6000

The work of \(146 \mathrm{~kJ}\) is performed in order to compress 1 kilo mole of gas adiabatically and in this process, the temperature of the gas increases by \(7^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The gas is \(\left(R=8.3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} K^{-1}\right)\) (A) Monoatomic (B) Diatomic(C) Triatomic (D) A mixture of monoatomic and diatomic
