The first law of thermodynamics can be written as $ \Delta U = \Delta Q + \Delta W$ for an ideal gas. Which of the following statements is correct?
A$\Delta U$ is always zero when no heat enters or leaves the gas
B$\Delta W$ is the work done by the gas in this written law.
C$\Delta U$ is zero when heat is supplied and the temperature stays constant
D$\Delta Q = -\Delta W$ when the temperature increases very slowly.

C$\Delta U$ is zero when heat is supplied and the temperature stays constant
c When no heat enters or leaves, $\Delta Q =0$
Therefore, $\Delta U = W$
Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option:$B$
It is given $\Delta U = Q + W$, So, workisdoneonthegas.
Hence, it is also an incorrect option.
Option:$C$
$\Delta U = nC _v \Delta T$
Since Temperature is constant,
$\Delta U =0$

A motor-car tyre has a pressure of $2\, atm$ at $27\,^oC$. It suddenly burst's. If $\left( {\frac{{{C_p}}}{{{C_v}}}} \right) = 1.4$ for air, find the resulting temperatures (Given $4^{1/7} = 1.219$)
Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the $P$ vs $V$ diagram. The paths are labelled as $A \rightarrow B, A \rightarrow C$ and $A \rightarrow D .$ The change in internal energies during these process are taken as $E _{ AB }, E _{ AC }$ and $E _{ AD }$ and the work done as $W _{ AB }$ $W _{ AC }$ and $W _{ AD }$
A closed container contains a homogeneous mixture of two moles of an ideal monatomic gas $(\gamma=5 / 3)$ and one mole of an ideal diatomic gas $(\gamma=7 / 5)$. Here, $\gamma$ is the ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume of an ideal gas. The gas mixture does a work of $66$ Joule when heated at constant pressure. The change in its internal energy is. . . . . . .Joule.
