Question:medium

Identify the correct statements from the following:
(i) For adiabatic process, \(\Delta U = W_{\text{adiabatic}}\)
(ii) Work is a path function.
(iii) Volume is an extensive property.

Show Hint

Remember: Work is a path function, internal energy and enthalpy are state functions, and volume is extensive.

  • i, ii, iii
  • i, iii only
  • ii, iii only
  • i, ii only
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Check each statement quickly.
(i) Adiabatic: q = 0, so \(\Delta U = W\) -- correct (IUPAC sign convention). (ii) Work depends on path (reversible vs irreversible give different values) -- correct. (iii) Volume scales with the amount of substance -- it is extensive -- correct.

Step 2: Conclusion.
All three statements are correct.
\[ \boxed{\text{All three are correct}} \]
