    A gas is compressed at constant pressure 50 \[N/{{m}^{2}}\]from a volume of\[10{{m}^{3}}\]to a volume\[4{{m}^{3}}\]. Energy 100 J is then added to the gas by heating. Its internal energy is

    A)  increased by 100 J

    B)  increased by 200 J

    C)  decreased by 200 J

    D)  increased by 400 J

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Change in volume\[\Delta {{V}_{2}}-{{V}_{1}}=4-10=-6\,{{m}^{3}}\] A volume decreases, work is done on the gas and so it is negative. \[W=p\Delta V=50\times (-6)\] \[=-300J\] Additional heat supplied\[(G=+100\text{ }J)\]. So, for first law of thermodynamics change in external energy is given by \[\Delta U=Q-W\] \[=100-(-300)=400\text{ }J\] Internal energy increases by 400 J.
