What is the SI unit of pressure?

  1. Pascal (Pa)

  2. Newton (N)

  3. Joule (J)

  4. Watt (W)

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), which is defined as one newton per square meter (1 N/m^2).

What is the first law of thermodynamics?

  1. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.

  2. Heat flows from hot objects to cold objects.

  3. The total entropy of an isolated system always increases.

  4. The pressure of a gas is proportional to its temperature.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.

What is the difference between heat and work?

  1. Heat is the transfer of energy due to a temperature difference, while work is the transfer of energy due to a force.

  2. Heat is the transfer of energy due to a force, while work is the transfer of energy due to a temperature difference.

  3. Heat and work are the same thing.

  4. Heat and work are unrelated.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Heat is the transfer of energy due to a temperature difference, while work is the transfer of energy due to a force.

What is the ideal gas law?

  1. PV = nRT

  2. PV = NkT

  3. PV = RT

  4. PV = nNkT

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The ideal gas law states that the pressure (P) of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles (n) of the gas, the temperature (T) of the gas, and inversely proportional to the volume (V) of the gas.

What is the difference between a solid, a liquid, and a gas?

  1. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, and gases have no definite shape or volume.

  3. Solids have no definite shape or volume, liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, and gases have a definite shape and volume.

  4. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have no definite shape or volume, and gases have a definite volume but no definite shape.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, and gases have no definite shape or volume.
