Question

The first law of thermodynamics is:
  1. A
    ΔU = Q + W (or Q − W depending on convention)
    Correct
  2. B
    ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
  3. C
    Entropy of universe increases
  4. D
    G = H − TS

Correct answer

ΔU = Q + W (or Q − W depending on convention)

Explanation

First Law: Energy is conserved. ΔU = Q − W (IUPAC: W = work done by system). Or ΔU = Q + W (W = work done on system). Both conventions are used.
