Assertion: In an isochoric process graph is straight line parallel to -axis.
Reason: In an isochoric process density remains constant.


Important Questions on The First Law of Thermodynamics
Assertion For given source and sink temperatures efficiency of Carnot's engine is .
Reason For given source and sink temperatures efficiency of Carnot's engine is maximum.

Assertion: Efficiency of any heat engine cannot be greater than the heat engine of Carnot's engine.
Reason: Heat flow never takes place from a body at lower temperature to a body at higher temperature.

Assertion: If the volume of a gas is increasing but the temperature of the gas is decreasing, then the heat given to the gas may be positive, negative or zero.
Reason: Heat given to a gas is a state function. It is not path function.

Assertion: First law of thermodynamics can be applied only for an ideal or real gas system.
Reason: First law of thermodynamics is nothing but law of conservation of energy.

Assertion: There are two processes : Process 1 is constant and process is constant. In both the processes volume of gas is increased from to . Initial coordinates of the gas were the same. Then, more work is done by the gas in process .
Reason: In second process pressure drops more rapidly with increase in volume.

Assertion: Any process taking place in the atmosphere is considered as an isobaric process.
Reason: Work done by the system in that case is . Where, is atmospheric pressure.

Assertion: During melting of ice work done by surrounding on (ice + water) system is positive.
Reason: Volume of the given system decreases on melting of ice.

Assertion: Molar heat capacity cannot be defined for an isothermal process.
Reason: In isothermal process versus graph is a dot.
