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 = Wadiabatic
(b) Wad = + ve, when work is done on the system
(c) Wad = – ve, when work is done by the system
(d) All of the above.
Show Answer
Answer: d(ii) A process in which the system does not exchange heat with the surroundings is known as
(a) isothermal
(b) isobaric
(c) isochoric
(d) adiabatic.
Show Answer
