14. When using a rubber-tipped burette, insert it into water, pinch the rubber tip at the end to reduce its volume, and then expel a certain amount of air and stabilize it as shown in the figure. Then let go, the rubber tip volume increases $V _ { 1 }$, there is a volume of $V ^ { 2 }$ of water into the dropper. Neglecting the change in temperature, the following statement is correct ( ) ![](/images/questions/phys-thermodynamics-first-law/image-004.jpg)

  • A. A. $V _ { 1 } > V _ { 2 }$
  • B. B. The gas inside the dropper releases heat to the outside
  • C. C. The molecules within the surface layer of water are sparser than within the water, so there is only molecular gravity between the molecules within the surface layer
  • D. D. If you know the volume of gas inside the final dropper and the number of gas molecules you can find the diameter of a gas molecule.

Answer: A

Solution: A. Let the atmospheric pressure be $p _ { 0 }$ and the density of water be $\rho$, then the pressure of the gas in the beginning $$ p _ { 1 } = p _ { 0 } + \rho g h _ { 1 } $$ Pressure of the gas after inhaling the water $$ p _ { 2 } = p _ { 0 } + \rho g h _ { 2 } $$ Since $h _ { 1 } > h _ { 2 }$, the $$ p _ { 1 } > p _ { 2 } $$ Let the volume of the gas at the beginning be $V _ { 10 }$, the volume of the gas after water is drawn in is $V _ { 20 }$, and the temperature of the gas is constant, according to Boyle's law: $$ p _ { 1 } V _ { 10 } = p _ { 2 } V _ { 20 } $$ Since $$ p _ { 1 } > p _ { 2 } $$ then $$ V _ { 10 } < V _ { 20 } $$ For the rubber-tipped burette $$ V _ { 10 } + V _ { 1 } = V _ { 20 } + V _ { 2 } $$ So $$ V _ { 1 } > V _ { 2 } $$ Therefore, A is correct ; B.

Answer: D

Solution: A. During the change from state $A$ to state $B$, the value of $p V$ gradually increases, and according to the ideal gas equation of state $\frac { p V } { T } = C$, the temperature of the gas increases, so A is wrong; B. From state $A$ to state $B$, the gas pressure increases, and the average force per unit area of the gas on the wall of the vessel increases, so B is wrong; C. In the process of changing from state $A$ to state $B$, the volume of the gas increases, and work is done on the outside world, so C is wrong; D. In the process of changing from state $A$ to state $B$, the temperature of the gas rises, the internal energy increases, and work is done on the outside world.

17. As shown in the figure is a closed cylinder, the external force pushes the piston P compresses the gas, the ideal gas in the cylinder to do work 800 J, while the gas to the outside world exothermic 200 J. The cylinder gas ![](/images/questions/phys-thermodynamics-first-law/image-006.jpg)

  • A. A. Increase in temperature increases internal energy by 600J
  • B. B. Increase in temperature decreases internal energy by 200 J
  • C. C. Temperature decreases, internal energy increases 600 J
  • D. D. Temperature decreases, internal energy increases by 200J

Answer: A

Solution: From the first law of thermodynamics $\Delta U = W + Q$ we get $\Delta U = 800 \mathrm {~J} + ( - 200 \mathrm {~J} ) = 600 \mathrm {~J}$ The magnitude of the internal energy of an ideal gas of a given mass depends only on temperature, $\Delta U = 600 \mathrm {~J} > 0$ Therefore, the temperature must increase.

18. As shown in the figure, an ideal gas of a certain mass undergoes two processes $a \rightarrow b$ and $a \rightarrow c$ respectively, where $a \rightarrow b$ is an isothermal process, and the states $b , c$ are of the same volume, then ![](/images/questions/phys-thermodynamics-first-law/image-007.jpg)

  • A. A. The internal energy of state $a$ is greater than that of state $b$.
  • B. B. The temperature of state $a$ is higher than state $c$.
  • C. C. $a \rightarrow c$ Heat absorbed by the process gas
  • D. D. If the process varies along $a b c a$ then the outside world does negative work on the gas.

Answer: C

Solution: A. Since the process of $a \rightarrow b$ is isothermal, i.e. state $a$ and state $b$ have the same temperature and the average kinetic energy of the molecules is the same, the internal energy of state $a$ is equal to the internal energy of state $a$ for an ideal gas. INLINE_FORMULA_6]], so A is wrong; B. Since the states $b$ and $c$ are of the same volume and $p _ { b } < p _ { c }$, according to the ideal gas equation of state, $p _ { b } < p _ { c }$ is the same. $$ \frac { p _ { b } V _ { b } } { T _ { b } } = \frac { p _ { c } V _ { c } } { T _ { c } } $$ B. Because $T _ { b } < T _ { c }$ is the same volume and $T _ { a } = T _ { b }$ is the same volume and $T _ { a } < T _ { c }$ is the same volume, it is wrong; C. Because $a \rightarrow c$ process of gas volume increases, the gas to the outside world to do positive work; and the gas temperature rises, the internal energy increases, according to the $$ \Delta U = W + Q $$ It can be known that the gas absorbs heat; therefore, C is correct. D. If along the $a b c a$ process changes, the gas volume first increased after the decrease, the gas first outside the work done by the outside world, after the outside world on the work done by the gas, from the figure we can see that the outside world on the work done by the gas is greater than the gas to the outside world to do the work, the two stages of the work and that $a b c a$ process enclosed area, we can see that the process of the outside world on the gas to do positive work work, D error. The gas does positive work work, D error.

  • A. A. During $a \rightarrow b$, all the work done on it by the outside world is used to increase its internal energy
  • B. B. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules may be equal in states $a$ and $c$.
  • C. C. During $\mathrm { b } \rightarrow c$, the gas temperature remains constant
  • D. D. The heat absorbed by the gas during a cycle is less than the heat given off

Answer: A

Solution: A. $a \rightarrow b$ process is an adiabatic compression process, the outside world is doing positive work on it, and there is no heat exchange with the outside world, according to the first law of thermodynamics, all the work done by the outside world is used to increase the internal energy, so A is correct; A is correct. From the analysis of A, the temperature of state $b$ is higher than that of $a$, and the process of $b$ to $c$ is isovolumetric, and the pressure increases, and the temperature increases, so the $c$ is isovolumetric, and the pressure increases, and the temperature increases.

39 Practice Questions

Practice with Chinese questions to prepare for the CSCA exam. You can toggle translations while practicing.

Topic Overview

The first law of thermodynamics is the thermodynamic formulation of the law of conservation of energy, with the core equation ΔU = Q + W, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the heat absorbed and the work done on the system by the outside world. In the CSCA Physics exam, this point is often tested in conjunction with the process of changing the state of an ideal gas (e.g., isothermal, isobaric, and adiabatic processes), which requires analyzing the energy conversion relationship and determining the change in each physical quantity.

Questions:39

Key Points

  • 1Understand the symbolic conventions and physical significance of internal energy, heat and work
  • 2Mastery of ΔU = Q + W in different thermodynamic processes
  • 3Analyze the relationship between changes of state and energy transformations of ideal gases
  • 4Combine the images (e.g., p-V diagram) to determine work done and energy flow

Study Tips

It is recommended that the analysis be aided by plotting p-V diagrams, clarifying the positive and negative relationships between Q, W and ΔU in each process, and paying attention to the difference in sign between "work done on the system by the outside world" and "work done by the system to the outside world".
