Reason: In an adiabatic process, temperature of system and surrounding remains same.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is True but the Reason is False

Reason: There is lack of atmospheric pressure at surface of moon.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
The correct answer is A (If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion) because the lack of atmospheric pressure on the moon's surface causes rapid evaporation.

Boiling water is changing into steam. At this stage then specific heat of water is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
∞\infty

The following sets of values for CV{C_V} and CP{C_P} of a gas has been reported by different students. The units are cal/gcal/g-molemole-K.K. Which of these sets is most reliable
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
CV=3,  CP=5{C_V} = 3,\;{C_P} = 5
Option A (CV=3,  CP=5{C_V} = 3,\;{C_P} = 5) is the most reliable because it satisfies the relation CP−CV=R≈2{C_P} - {C_V} = R \approx 2 and the ratio CP/CV{C_P}/{C_V} corresponds to a standard value for monoatomic gases.

Two cylinders A\mathrm{A} and B\mathrm{B} of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stop cock. A\mathrm{A} contains an ideal gas at
standard temperature and pressure. B\mathrm{B} is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stop
cock is suddenly opened. The process is:

If specific heat of a substance is infinite, it means
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
No change in temperature takes place whether heat is taken in or given out

Statement-I: According to the second law of thermodynamics total heat can be converted into mechanical work
Statement-II: Due to various losses, it is impossible to convert total heat into mechanical work
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement-I is false and statement-II is true
Option C (Statement-I is false and statement-II is true) is correct because the second law of thermodynamics prohibits the complete conversion of heat into work due to entropy increase.

Understanding +4 | -1
The gas law PVT\frac{{PV}}{T} = constant is true for
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both isothermal and adiabatic changes
Option D (Neither isothermal nor adiabatic changes) is correct. PVT\frac{PV}{T} = constant applies only when the number of moles of gas is constant, which is an ideal gas law condition, but not specifically tied to isothermal or adiabatic processes alone.

The temperature of the source of a Carnot's heat engine is 1000∘C1000^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. Its efficiency could be 100%100 \% only if the temperature of the sink is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
−273.16∘C-273.16^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
The correct answer is D (-273.16°C) because for a Carnot engine to have 100% efficiency, the sink temperature must be absolute zero (0 K), which is -273.16°C.

Correct option: B
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
Option B (Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)) is correct because while both the assertion and the reason are true statements, the reason does not explain why the entropy of the milk decreases.

Assertion: Air pressure in a car type increases during driving.
Reason: Absolute zero temperature is not zero energy temperature.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion

Second law of efficiency is defined as:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Minimum energy intake/actual energy intake

Reason: Adiabatic process is always a cyclic process.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is True but the Reason is False
Option C (If assertion is True but the Reason is False) is correct because the change in heat is zero in an adiabatic process, but an adiabatic process is not necessarily cyclic.

equilibrium with the surroundings
throughout.

STATEMENT(B): Spontaneous processes of
nature are irreversible.
View answer and explanation

D. The gas will do positive work.

E. The gas will do negative work.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

208 of 363
Understanding +4 | -1
Assertion: In free expansion of an ideal gas internal energy is constant.
Reason: No heat is added and no work is done in free expansion.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A is correct because in free expansion, no external pressure opposes the expansion, hence no work is done, and if no heat is exchanged, the internal energy remains constant.
