Column-1 represents the process
Column-2 represents the Δ U for that process and
Column-3 represents the work done expression for that process.
Column I Column 2 Column 3(I)Adiabatic expansion(i)0(P)w=q(II)Irreversible isothermal compression(ii)Positive(Q)w=−q(III)Reversible isothermal compression(iii)Negative(R)w=0(IV)Free expansion(iv)q(S)w=ΔU
A gas kept in a 100 L container was allowed to expand in a 5L evacuated container. Which set correctly describes this process?
Since it is a free expansion so work done will be zero i.e. w = 0
From first law of thermodynamics
ΔU=−q+w
∴ΔU=q
