The internal energy of a system can be increased without transfer of
energy by heating.
The internal energy of a system depends only on its temperature.
When two systems have equal internal energies, they are in thermal
equilibrium.
When work is done on a gas, its internal energy always rises.
An ideal gas undergoes an expansion at a constant pressure of 1.3 x 105 Pa
from a volume of 1.3 x 10-4 m3 to 3.6 x 10-4 m3 . During this expansion, 24 J of
5
heat is supplied to the gas. Its pressure is then increased to 3.6 x 10 Pa at
constant volume. After which, it is compressed to its original volume at
constant pressure. Which statement about the gas is correct?
A
The work done by the gas is 83 J.
B
Its internal energy increases by 6 J during the expansion.
C
The work done by the gas is 30 J.
D
The net work done on the gas is 30 J.
