Q.

Given below are two statements:                                   [2023]

Statement I: If heat is added to a system, its temperature must increase.

Statement II: If positive work is done by a system in a thermodynamic process, its volume must increase.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1 Both Statement I and Statement II are true  
2 Statement I is false but Statement II is true  
3 Both Statement I and Statement II are false  
4 Statement I is true but Statement II is false  

Ans.

(2)

Statement I: ΔQ>0

According to the first law of thermodynamics,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

If ΔQ>0, ΔU<0 and W>0 is also possible.  

Hence ΔT<0, so temperature decreases.

Statement I is false

Statement II: W>0

 PdV>0

Therefore, volume of the system must increase during positive work done by the system.

Statement II is true
