A gas can be taken from A to B via two different processes ACB and ADB.



When path ACB is used 60 J of heat flows into the system and 30 J of work is done by the system. If the path ADB is used then work done by the system is 10 J, the heat flows into the system in the path ADB is:
  1. 100 J
  2. 20 J
  3. 40 J
  4. 80 J

Solution

For path ACB,

ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW

60=ΔU+30

  ΔU=30 J

For path ADB

ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW

As initial and find points are the same, change in internal energy is same in both the cases

ΔQ=30+10

=40 J
