Explanation of Solution

First law of thermodynamics is based on the conservation of energy principle. Satisfaction of first law does not confirm that process will actually occur.

The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy, adapted for thermodynamic systems. The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

Write the expression for first law of thermodynamics.

ΔU=QW

Here, the change in the internal energy is ΔU=QW, heat transfer is Q and work done is W.

It states that the change in the internal energy ΔU of a closed system is equal to the amount of heat Q supplied to the system, minus the amount of work W done by the system on its surroundings. An equivalent statement is that perpetual motion machines of the first kind are impossible.

A cup of hot coffee left in a cooler room eventually cools off. The heat energy of the coffee is converting into the other form of energy. The process is actually is taking place but not actually be observed in the nature.
