Q21. An ideal gas absorbs 500 J of heat and does 200 J of work. The change in internal energy is:

  • A) +700 J
  • B) +300 J
  • C) −300 J
  • D) −700 J

Answer: B

Explanation: ΔU = Q − W = 500 − 200 = 300 J.

Q22. 1 mole of monoatomic ideal gas is heated at constant volume by 100 K. Change in internal energy is:

  • A) 3/2 R × 100
  • B) 5/2 R × 100
  • C) R × 100
  • D) Zero

Answer: A

Explanation: ΔU = (f/2) nRΔT = (3/2)R × 100.

Q23. Work done in an isochoric process is:

  • A) Maximum
  • B) Minimum
  • C) Zero
  • D) Depends on temperature

Answer: C

Explanation: Isochoric ⇒ ΔV = 0 ⇒ W = 0.

Q24. For an isothermal expansion of ideal gas, internal energy change is:

  • A) Positive
  • B) Negative
  • C) Zero
  • D) Depends on pressure

Answer: C

Explanation: For ideal gas, U depends only on temperature.

Q25. In an adiabatic process for ideal gas:

  • A) Q = 0
  • B) ΔU = 0
  • C) W = 0
  • D) T = constant

Answer: A

Explanation: Definition of adiabatic process.

Q26. If pressure doubles during an isothermal process, volume becomes:

  • A) Double
  • B) Half
  • C) Same
  • D) Four times

Answer: B

Explanation: PV = constant ⇒ V ∝ 1/P.

Q27. Which quantity remains constant in an isothermal process?

  • A) Pressure
  • B) Volume
  • C) Temperature
  • D) Internal energy

Answer: C

Explanation: Isothermal ⇒ temperature constant.

Q28. For an ideal gas, which statement is always true?

  • A) ΔU = Q
  • B) ΔU = W
  • C) ΔU depends only on T
  • D) ΔU depends on P and V

Answer: C

Explanation: Internal energy of ideal gas depends only on temperature.

Q29. A cyclic process has:

  • A) Zero work
  • B) Zero heat
  • C) Zero internal energy change
  • D) Zero entropy change

Answer: C

Explanation: State returns to initial ⇒ ΔU = 0.

Q30. Which process gives maximum work for given initial and final volumes?

  • A) Isochoric
  • B) Isobaric
  • C) Isothermal
  • D) Adiabatic

Answer: C

Explanation: Area under P–V curve is maximum for isothermal expansion.
