Case Study Questions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 6 Thermodynamics

Case Study Questions

Question 1:

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

In chemical thermodynamics, the type of work involved is mostly pressure-volume work that is the work done when a system (gas) expands or contracts against an external opposing pressure. Hence, work is also defined as the transfer of energy that can be used to change the height of a mass in the surroundings.

Pressure-volume work: The work W, that is done due to the expansion or compression of a gas against an external opposing pressure P is called pressure-volume work

(i) Which of the following statement is correct?
(a) ΔU = W_adiabatic
(b) W_ad = + ve, when work is done on the system
(c) W_ad = – ve, when work is done by the system
(d) All of the above.
