Unit mass of a liquid with volume ${V_1}$ is completely changed into a gas of volume ${V_2}$ at a constant external pressure $P$ and temperature $T.$ If the latent heat of evaporation for the given mass is $L,$ then the increase in the internal energy of the system is
A
Zero
B$P({V_2} - {V_1})$
C$L - P({V_2} - {V_1})$

C$L - P({V_2} - {V_1})$
c (c) $\Delta Q = \Delta V + P\Delta V$$\Rightarrow mL = \Delta U + P(V_2 -V_1)$
$\Rightarrow$ $\Delta U = L -P (V_2 -V_1)\; ( m = 1)$

Two different adiabatic paths for the same gas intersect two isothermal curves as shown in$P-V$ diagram. The relation between the ratio $\frac{V_a}{V_d}$ and the ratio $\frac{V_b}{V_c}$ is:
One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of $T\, K$ does $6 R$ joules of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is $5/3$, the final temperature of gas will be
A Carnot engine has efficiency of $50 \%$. If the temperature of sink is reduced by $40^{\circ} C$, its efficiency increases by $30 \%$. The temperature of the source will be$....K$
A balloon filled with helium $\left(32^{\circ} C \right.$ and $1.7\; atm$.) bursts. Immediately afterwards the expansion of helium can be considered as
$1\,kg$ of water at $100\, ^{\circ}C$ is converted into steam at $100^{\circ}\,C$ by boiling at atmospheric pressure. The volume of water changes from $1.00 \times 10^{-3}\,m ^3$ as a liquid to $1.671\,m ^3$ as steam. The change in internal energy of the system during the process will be $........kJ$ (Given latent heat of vaporisaiton $=2257\,kJ / kg$. Atmospheric pressure $=1 \times 10^5\,Pa$ )
The equation of state for a gas is given by $PV = nRT + \alpha V$, where $n$ is the number of moles and $\alpha $ is a positive constant. The initial temperature and pressure of one mole of the gas contained in a cylinder are $T_o$ and $P_o$ respectively. The work done by the gas when its temperature doubles isobarically will be
In a thermodynamic process pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas releases $30$ joules of heat and $10$ joules of work was done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was $30$ joules, then the final internal energy will be ........ $J$
