MCQ
In thermodynamics, heat and work are
- ✓Path functions
- BIntensive thermodynamic state variables
- CExtensive thermodynamic state variables
- DPoint functions
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Path functions
a
Heat and work are treated as path functions in thermodynamics.
Heat and work are treated as path functions in thermodynamics.
$\Delta Q =\Delta U +\Delta W$
Since work done by gas depends on type of
process i.e. path and $\Delta U$ depends just on initial
and final states, so $\Delta Q$ i.e. heat, also has to
depend on process is path.

Consider one mole of helium gas enclosed in a container at initial pressure $P_1$ and volume $V_1$. It expands isothermally to volume $4 V_1$. After this, the gas expands adiabatically and its volume becomes $32 V_1$. The work done by the gas during isothermal and adiabatic expansion processes are $W_{\text {iso }}$ and $W_{\text {adia, }}$ respectively. If the ratio $\frac{W_{\text {iso }}}{W_{\text {adia }}}=f \ln 2$, then $f$ is. . . . . . . .
→Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a string of length $l$. They are held in a horizontal plane at a height $H$ above two heavy plates $A$ and $B$ made of different material placed on the floor. Initially distance between two masses is $a < l$. When the masses are released under gravity they make collision with $A$ and $B$ with coefficient of restitution $0.8$ and $0.4$ respectively. The time after the collision when the string becomes tight is :- (Assume $H>>l$)
