Which thermodynamic relation expresses the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature for an ideal gas?

  1. The ideal gas law: PV = nRT

  2. The Boyle-Mariotte law: PV = constant

  3. The Charles's law: V/T = constant

  4. The Gay-Lussac's law: P/T = constant


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The ideal gas law combines the Boyle-Mariotte law, Charles's law, and Gay-Lussac's law into a single equation that relates pressure, volume, and temperature for an ideal gas.

What is the relationship between internal energy, heat, and work in a thermodynamic system?

  1. Internal energy = heat + work

  2. Internal energy = heat - work

  3. Internal energy = heat * work

  4. Internal energy = heat / work


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system.

Which thermodynamic relation expresses the relationship between entropy, heat, and temperature?

  1. Entropy = heat / temperature

  2. Entropy = heat * temperature

  3. Entropy = heat - temperature

  4. Entropy = heat + temperature


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that the change in entropy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system divided by the temperature of the system.

What is the relationship between enthalpy, internal energy, pressure, and volume?

  1. Enthalpy = internal energy + pressure * volume

  2. Enthalpy = internal energy - pressure * volume

  3. Enthalpy = internal energy * pressure * volume

  4. Enthalpy = internal energy / pressure * volume


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Enthalpy is defined as the sum of internal energy, pressure, and volume.

Which thermodynamic relation expresses the relationship between Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, temperature, and entropy?

  1. Gibbs free energy = enthalpy - temperature * entropy

  2. Gibbs free energy = enthalpy + temperature * entropy

  3. Gibbs free energy = enthalpy * temperature * entropy

  4. Gibbs free energy = enthalpy / temperature * entropy


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Gibbs free energy is defined as the difference between enthalpy and the product of temperature and entropy.

What is the relationship between the heat capacity at constant volume and the heat capacity at constant pressure?

  1. Heat capacity at constant volume = heat capacity at constant pressure

  2. Heat capacity at constant volume > heat capacity at constant pressure

  3. Heat capacity at constant volume < heat capacity at constant pressure

  4. Heat capacity at constant volume = heat capacity at constant pressure + R


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The heat capacity at constant pressure is always greater than the heat capacity at constant volume due to the work done by the system against the external pressure.

  1. Joule-Thomson coefficient = heat capacity at constant pressure / temperature

  2. Joule-Thomson coefficient = heat capacity at constant pressure * temperature

  3. Joule-Thomson coefficient = heat capacity at constant pressure - temperature

  4. Joule-Thomson coefficient = heat capacity at constant pressure + temperature


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Joule-Thomson coefficient is defined as the rate of change of temperature with pressure at constant enthalpy and is related to the heat capacity at constant pressure.

What is the relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient and the isothermal compressibility?

  1. Thermal expansion coefficient = isothermal compressibility

  2. Thermal expansion coefficient > isothermal compressibility
