The volume of a gas decreases from 
to 
when a sample of gas is compressed by an average pressure of 0.6 atm. During this process 10 J of heat is liberated. The change in internal energy is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Here: Change in
Volume 
Pressure 
and heat liberated (q) = 10 J
Work done 
But 
.
hence 
. We also know that heat is liberated, therefore it would be negative. Thus change in 
.
