1. a. The piston does work W on the gas. There’s no heat because of the insulation, and because the gas as a whole doesn’t move. Thus . The work increases the system’s thermal energy and thus raises its temperature.
2. d. because A is an isochoric process. . because there’s more area under the curve, and is positive whereas is negative. Thus is positive.
3. b and e. The temperature rises in d from doing work on the gas , not from heat. e involves heat because there is a temperature difference. The temperature of the gas doesn’t change because the heat is used to do the work of lifting a weight.
4. c. The temperature increases so must increase. W is negative in an expansion, so Q must be positive and larger than .
5. a. A has a smaller specific heat and thus less thermal inertia. The temperature of A will change more than the temperature of B.
6. a. . The area under process A is larger than the area under B, so is more negative than . has to be more positive than to maintain the equality.
7. c. Conduction, convection, and evaporation require matter. Only radiation transfers energy through the vacuum of space.
