Which law states that the internal energy of a gas is a function of temperature only?
Select one:
O a. Gay-Lussac law
O b. Joule's law
O . Boyle's law
O d. Charles' law
If the temperature of a given quantity of gas is held constant, the volume
of the gas varies inversely with the absolute pressure during a change of
state. According to?
Boyle's law
Charles' law
Gay-Lussac's law
Flow work or flow energy is
work done in flowing a fluid across a boundary out of the system
work done in pushing a fluid across a boundary into the system
work done in pushing a fluid across a boundary, into or out of the system
Heat has negative value
when heat is rejected by the body or system
when heat is added to the body or system
O both statements are correct
True or false: The changes in the attributes of both systems may reach a particular state if there are two closed systems with fixed volumes and in thermal contact. All systems are in an equal state if multiple systems are engaged.
