Solution

The correct option is B 41.5
Given T1=0oC=273K, T2=400oC=673 K
Work done W=nR(γ1)(T2T1)=5×8.3×400(751)=41500 J=41.5 kJ
By convention, the work done on the gas is taken to be negative, i.e. W = - 41.5 kJ. From the first law of thermodynamics dQ = dU + dW. For an adiabatic process, dQ = 0. Hence dU = - dW = - ( - 41.5 ) = 41.5 kJ. The positive sign of dU implies that the internal energy increases.
