If an ideal gas is used and the quantity of gas stays constant, then the increase in energy is proportional to an increase in temperature and pressure in an

  1. adiabatic process

  2. isobaric process

  3. isochoric process

  4. isentropic process

  5. isothermal process


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

An isochoric process, also called a constant-volume process, an isovolumetric process, or an isometric process, is a thermodynamic process during which the volume of the closed system undergoing such a process remains constant.

In a fluid that behaves according to Newton's law, which quality should be independent of the stress to become a Newtonian?

  1. Latent heat of vaporisation

  2. Specific heat

  3. Viscosity

  4. Specific vapour volume

  5. Fluidity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal notion of thickness.

At chemical equilibrium or in phase equilibrium, the total sum of which property becomes zero as free energy is at the minimum?

  1. Viscocity

  2. Surface tension

  3. Chemical potential

  4. Heat capacity

  5. Electrical resistivity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In thermodynamics, chemical potential, also known as partial molar free energy, is a form of potential energy that can be absorbed or released during a chemical reaction. It may also change during a phase transition.

In which of the following is the maximum theoretical efficiency equal to the temperature difference between the hot and cold ends, divided by the temperature at the hot end? All expressed in absolute temperature or kelvin.

  1. Heat pump

  2. Heat engine

  3. Carnot engine

  4. Turbine

  5. Electric motor


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In thermodynamics, a heat engine is a system that performs the conversion of heat or thermal energy to mechanical work.

In case of any electric and magnetic field that was created by any given distribution of charges and currents Jefimenko's equations are the explicit solution to which law/equation?

  1. Nernst heat theorem

  2. Maxwell's equations

  3. Third law of thermodynamics

  4. Second law of thermodynamics

  5. Clayperon-Claussius equation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Maxwell's equations are a set of partial differential equations that, together with the Lorentz force law, form the foundation of classical electrodynamics, classical optics, and electric circuits.

Which property of a gas can be determined by the displacement of a liquid?

  1. Volume

  2. Mass

  3. Energy

  4. Temperature

  5. Entropy


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by some closed boundary.  For example-  the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains.

Using which approximation in thermodynamics are many rapid chemical and physical processes described?

  1. Adiabatic

  2. Isobaric

  3. Isochoric

  4. Isentropic

  5. Isothermal


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An adiabatic process is a process occurring without exchange of heat of a system with its environment.

Which of the following is an expression of the disorder or randomness of a system?

  1. Temperature

  2. Pressure

  3. Volume

  4. Entropy

  5. Mass


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Entropy is a measure of the number of specific ways in which a system may be arranged, often taken to be a measure of disorder.

Which process allows the heat transfer with the surroundings and maintains the temperature as constant?

  1. Adiabatic

  2. Isobaric

  3. Isochoric

  4. Isentropic

  5. Isothermal


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

An isothermal process is a change of a system, in which the temperature remains constant: ΔT = 0. This typically occurs when a system is in contact with an outside thermal reservoir (heat bath), and the change occurs slowly enough to allow the system to continually adjust to the temperature of the reservoir through heat exchange.

The precise formulation of which equation/law depends on the precise definition of the quantities involved?

  1. Maxwell's equation

  2. Van Laar equation

  3. Nernst Heat Theorem

  4. Clayperon-Claussius equation

  5. Gauss's law


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Maxwell's equations are a set of partial differential equations that, together with the Lorentz force law, form the foundation of classical electrodynamics, classical optics, and electric circuits.

Which property's negative gradient is called as the force density?

  1. Temperature

  2. Pressure

  3. Volume

  4. Energy

  5. Mass


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pressure is the effect of a force applied to a surface. Pressure is the amount of force acting per unit area. The symbol of pressure is p.

Which factor will become spatially uniform when an isolated system cannot exchange any energy or material with its environment?

  1. Temperature

  2. Pressure

  3. Volume

  4. Energy

  5. Mass


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Temperature is a physical quantity that is a measure of hotness and coldness on a numerical scale. It is a measure of the thermal energy per particle of matter or radiation.

Which of the following will be released during the combustion of hydrocarbons?

  1. CO2

  2. O2

  3. H2

  4. N2

  5. H2O


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom.

Which chemical element or compound is commonly present in propellants and explosives?

  1. CO2

  2. O2

  3. H2

  4. N2

  5. H2O


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nitrogen is a chemical element with symbol N and atomic number 7. Elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting 78.09% by volume of Earth's atmosphere.

Which of the following has the dimension of force per unit length or of energy per unit area?

  1. Viscocity

  2. Surface tension

  3. Chemical potential

  4. Heat capacity

  5. Electrical resistivity


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Surface tension is a contractive tendency of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force.
