Consider the following statements: Choose the correct combination of statements from the options given below:
- C, D and E Only
- A, B and C Only
- A, B and D Only
- B, C and D Only
Answer
(3) A, B and D Only
Solution
A. The zeroth law (thermal equilibrium) leads to the concept of temperature ⇒ correct.
B. The first law Q= U+ W introduces internal energy as a state function ⇒ correct.
C. Isothermal process of an ideal gas: T=0 ⇒ U=0 ⇒ Q= W ⇒ the statement Q W is incorrect.
D. Intensive × extensive is extensive, e.g. density × volume = mass, pressure × volume ∝ energy ⇒ correct.
E. Extensive variable ÷ mass is a specific quantity, e.g. Vm (specific volume), which does not depend on the amount of matter ⇒ intensive ⇒ incorrect.
∴ Correct statements: A, B and D.
