If $\Delta Q$ and $\Delta W$ represent the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system respectively, then the first law of thermodynamics can be written as
A$\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$
B$\Delta Q = \Delta U - \Delta W$
C$\Delta Q = \Delta W - \Delta U$
D$\Delta Q = -\Delta W - \Delta U$

B$\Delta Q = \Delta U - \Delta W$
b From FLOT $\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W$
$\because$ Heat supplied to the system so
$\Delta Q \rightarrow\, Positive$
and work is done on the system so
$\Delta \mathrm{W} \rightarrow\,Negative$
Hence $+\Delta Q=\Delta U-\Delta W$

A system performs work $\Delta W$ when an amount of heat is$\Delta Q$ added to the system, the corresponding change in the internal energy is $\Delta U$. A unique function of the initial and final states (irrespective of the mode of change) is
A thermodynamic system is taken form an initial state $i$ with internal energy $U_1=100 \ J$ to the final state along two different paths iaf and ibf, as schematically shown in the fire. The work done by the system along the paths $af$, ib and bf are $W _{ af }=200 \ J , W _{ ID }=50 \ J$ and $W _{ br }=100 \ J$ respectively. The heat supplied to the system along the path iaf, ib and bf are $Q_{\mid a t l} Q_{b r}$ and $Q_{10}$ respectively. If the internal energy of the sytem in the state $b$ is $U_b=$ $200 \ J$ and $Q_{l a t}=500 \ J$, the ratio $Q_{b J} / Q_{10}$ is:
$Assertion :$ In adiabatic compression, the internal energy and temperature of the system get decreased.
$Reason :$ The adiabatic compression is a slow process.
A shown in the figure, the amount of heat absorbed along the path $ABC$ is $90\,J$ and the amount of work done by the system is $30\,J$ . If the amount of work done along the path $ADC$ is $20\,J$ , the amount of heat absorbed will be .... $J$
A diatomic gas with rigid molecules does $10\, J$ of work when expanded at constant pressure. What would be the heat energy absorbed by the gas, in this process ..... $J$.
A Carnot engine whose low temperature reservoir is at $7\,°C$ has an efficiency of $50\%$. It is desired to increase the efficiency to $70\%$. By how many degrees should the temperature of the high temperature reservoir be increased ....... $K$
