  • A constant pressure is maintained
  • A constant volume is maintained
  • Pressure, volume and temperature all vary during the transformation

7. In an isothermal gas transformation...?

  • A constant temperature is maintained
  • A constant pressure is maintained
  • A constant volume is maintained
  • Pressure, volume and temperature all vary during the transformation

8. In an isochoric gas transformation...?

  • A constant temperature is maintained
  • A constant pressure is maintained
  • Pressure, volume and temperature all vary during the transformation
  • A constant volume is maintained

10. In real gases at extremely high pressures...?

  • The kinetic model still applies
  • The kinetic model no longer applies because the forces between the molecules are no longer negligible
  • The pressure will be less than expected.
  • The gas will not begin to condense

11. The internal energy of an ideal gas is...?

  • Equal to the highest kinetic energy of the gas molecules
  • The average kinetic energy of the molecules in the gas
  • The sum of all the kinetic energy of all the molecules in the gas
  • Equal to the heat energy transferred to the gas

12. The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that...? (where T1, T2 and T3 are temperatures of bodies)

  • If T1 > T2 and T2 < T3 then T1 < T3
  • If T1 = T2 and T2 = T3 then T1 = T3
  • If T1 < T2 and T2 < T3 then T1 < T3
  • If T1 > T2 and T2 < T3 then T1 = T3

13. The first law of thermodynamics states...? (Where Q is the heat added (J), ΔU is the internal energy of the gas (J) and W is the work done by the gas (J))

  • Q = U - ΔW
  • Q = ΔU + W
  • Q = U + ΔW
  • Q = ΔU - W

14. The work done by a gas in a cylindrical piston is given by the equation...? (Where W.D is the work done (J), P is the pressure (kPa), A is the area of the piston (m^2) and Δd is the displacement of the cylinder (m))

  • W.D = PAΔd
  • W.D = (PA) / (Δd)
  • W.D = (Δd) / (PA)
  • W.D / P = Δd / A

15. If the volume of a gas increases, the gas is doing work, meaning W.D is a positive value

  • True
  • False

16. If the temperature of a gas increases, the internal energy of the gas is increasing, meaning ΔU is a positive value

  • True
  • False

17. In a thermodynamic cycle, such as in an engine, net work is done on the gas

  • False
  • True

18. The Carnot Cycle consists of only...?

  • Adiabatic changes
  • Isobaric and adiabatic changes
  • Isothermal and adiabatic changes
  • Isochoric and adiabatic changes

19. What is meant by the term Entropy?

  • Entropy is the free energy gained in heating a system
  • Entropy is the tendency of all processes to cause a decrease in disordered (dispersed) energy
  • Entropy is the tendency of all processes to cause an increase in disordered (dispersed) energy
  • Entropy is the total energy of the molecules of a gas

20. The second law of thermodynamics states that...?

  • Entropy (S) is a measure of the change in temperature (T) per joule of energy (Q) added to a system: S = ΔT / Q
  • It is impossible to convert heat completely into work since entropy is always increasing
  • Heat can be completely converted into work since entropy is always decreasing
  • Entropy cannot be created or destroyed
