The figure below shows two paths that may be taken by gas to go from state \(A\) to state \(C\). 
             
In process \(AB\), \(400~\text{J}\) of heat is added to the system, and in process \(BC\), \(100~\text{J}\) of heat is added to the system. The heat absorbed by the system in the process \(AC\) will be:
1. \(380~\text{J}\)
2. \(500~\text{J}\)
3. \(460~\text{J}\)
4. \(300~\text{J}\)

An ideal gas goes from state \(A\) to state \(B\) via three different processes as indicated in the \((P\text-V)\) diagram.

  
If \(Q_1,Q_2,Q_3\)${\mathrm{}}_{}$ indicate the heat absorbed by the gas along the three processes and \(\Delta U_1, \Delta U_2, \Delta U_3\) indicate the change in internal energy along the three processes respectively, then:

During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does -150 J of work against its surrounding. This implies that:

If \(\Delta U\) and \(\Delta W\) represent the increase in internal energy and work done by the system respectively in a thermodynamical process, which of the following is true?

The internal energy change in a system that has absorbed \(2\) kcal of heat and done \(500\) J of work is:
1. \(8900\) J
2. \(6400\) J
3. \(5400\) J
4. \(7900\) J
