Q1. A measure of the degree of disorder of a system is known as


  •  Enthalpy

  •  Isobaric

  •  Isotropy

  •  Entropy

Q2. If ΔThe efficiency of Carnot engine operating with reservior temperature at 100 K and –23 K will be


  •  (100 + 23)/100

  •  (100 - 23)/100

  •  (100 + 23)/373

  •  (100 - 23)/373

Q3. Coefficient of performance of an ideal refrigerator working between temperature T1 and T2 (T1 > T2) is


  •  β = T2/(T1 - T2)

  •  β = T2/(T1 + T2)

  •  β = T1/(T1 - T2)

  •  β = T1/(T1 + T2)

Q4. Entropy of a thermodynamic system does not change when this system is used for


  •  Conduction of heat from a hot reservoir to a cold reservoir

  •  Conversion of heat into work isobarically

  •  Conversion of heat into internal energy isochorically

  •  Conversion of work into heat isochorically

Q5. The second law of thermodynamics states that


  •  Heat is neither created nor destroyed

  •  Heat can be converted into other forms of energy

  •  Heat flows from a hot object to a cold one

  •  The mechanical equivalent of heat is the amount of energy that must be expended in order to produce heat

Q6. A Carnot engine works between ice point and steam point. Its efficiency will be


  •  26.81 %

  • 53.36 %

  •  71.23 %


1: A measure of the degree of disorder of a system is known as enthalpy.
