Assertion & Reason

Question 511 Mark
Assertion : We can not change the temperature of a body without giving (or taking) heat to (or from) it.
Reason : According to principle of conservation of energy, total energy of a system should remains conserved.
Answer
(d) We can change the temperature of a body without giving (or taking) heat to (or from) it. For example in an adiabatic compression temperature rises and in an adiabatic expansion temperature false, although no heat is given or taken from the system in the respective changes.

Question 521 Mark
Assertion : The entropy of the solids is the highest
Reason : Atoms of the solids are arranged in orderly manner.
Answer
(a) Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of the system. Greater the randomness, greater the entropy.

Question 531 Mark
Assertion : Efficiency of a Carnot engine increase on reducing the temperature of sink.
Reason : The efficiency of a Carnot engine is defined as ratio of net mechanical work done per cycle by the gas to the amount of heat energy absorbed per cycle from the source.
Answer
b) Efficiency of cannot cycle $\eta=\frac{W}{Q_1}=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}$, for Carnot engine when $T_2$ decrease $\eta$ increases.

Question 561 Mark
Assertion : Work done by a gas in isothermal expansion is more than the work done by the gas in the same expansion, adiabatically.
Reason : Temperature remains constant in isothermal expansion and not in adiabatic expansion.

Question 571 Mark
Assertion : An adiabatic process is an isoentropic process.
Reason : Change in entropy is zero in case of adiabatic process.
Answer
(a) Change in entropy, $\Delta S=\frac{\Delta Q}{T}$. In an adiabatic change, heat transfer $\Delta Q=0 . \therefore \Delta S=0$, or $S=$ constant i.e., entropy remains constant in an adiabatic process, or an adiabatic process is an isoentropic process.

Question 581 Mark
Assertion : In an adiabatic process, change in internal energy of a gas is equal to work done on or by the gas in the process.
Reason : Temperature of gas remains constant in a adiabatic process.
Answer
(c) In an adiabatic process, no exchange of heat is permissible i.e., $\Delta Q=0$.As, $\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W=0 \Rightarrow \Delta U=-\Delta W$.Also in adiabatic process, temperature of gas changes.

Reason : The internal energy of a system depends only on pressure of the system.
Answer

Question 601 Mark
Assertion : If an electric fan be switched on in a closed room, the air of the room will be cooled.
Reason : Fan air decrease the temperature of the room.
Answer
(d) If an electric fan is switched on in a closed room, the air will be heated because due to motion of the fan, the speed of air molecules will increase. In fact, we feel cold due to evaporation of our sweat.

Question 611 Mark
Assertion : lt is not possible for a system, unaided by an external agency to transfer heat from a body at lower temperature to another body at higher temperature.
Reason : According to Clausius statement, "No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a cooled object to a hotter object.
Answer
(a) Second law of thermodynamics can be explained with the help of example of refrigerator, as we know that refrigerator, the working substance extracts heat from colder body andrejects a large amount of heat to a hotter body with the help of an external agency i.e., theelectric supply of the refrigerator. No refrigerator can ever work without external supply of electric energy to it.

Question 621 Mark
Assertion : A room can be cooled by opening the door of a refrigerator in a closed room.
Reason : Heat flows from lower temperature (refrigerator) to higher temperature (room).
Answer
(d) When the door of refrigerator is kept open, heat rejected by the refrigerator to the room will be more than the heat taken by the refrigerator from the room (by an amount equal towork done by the compressor). Therefore, temperature of room will increase and so it will bewarmed gradually. As according to 2- law of thermodynamics, heat cannot be transferred on its own, from a body at lower temperature to another at higher temperature.

Question 631 Mark
Assertion : The heat supplied to a system is always equal to the increase in its internal energy.
Reason : When a system changes from one thermal equilibrium to another, some heat is absorbed by it.
Answer
(d) According to first law of thermodynamics, $\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W=\Delta U+P \Delta V$. If heat is supplies in such a manner that volume does not change $\Delta V=0$ i.e., isochoric process, then whole of the heat energy supplied to the system will increaseinternal energy only. But, in any other process it is not possible.Also heat may absorbed or evolved when state of thermal equilibrium changes.

Question 641 Mark
Assertion : Work and heat are two equivalent form of energy.
Reason : Work is the transfer of mechanical energy irrespective of temperature difference, whereas heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of temperature difference only.
Answer
(a) Heat is similar to work in that both represent ways of transferring energy. Neither heat nor work is an intrinsic property of a system, that is, we cannot say that a system contains a certain amount of heat or work.

Question 651 Mark
Assertion : The specific heat of a gas is an adiabatic process is zero and in an isothermal process is infinite.
Reason : Specific heat of a gas in directly proportional to change of heat in system and inversely proportional to change in temperature.
Answer
(a) $\quad c=\frac{Q}{m \cdot \Delta \theta}$; a gas may be heated by putting pressure, so it can have values for 0 to $\infty$.$C_P$ and $C_V$ are it's two principle specific heats, out of infinite possible values.In adiabatic process $C=0$ and in isothermal process $C=\infty$.
