When 1 mol gas is heated at constant volume, the temperature is raised from 298 to 308 K. Heat supplied to the gas is 500 J. The correct statement among the following is:

1.  q = w = 500 J, ∆U = 0
2.  q = ∆U = 500 J, w = 0
3.  q =0, w = 500 J, ∆U = 0
4.  ∆U = 0, q = w = – 500 J

Match the processes in Column-I with the correct expressions in Column-II:
Column-I (Process)
Column-II (Expression)
a. No heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings, but work (w) is done on the system. i. ∆U = q – w, closed system.
b. No work is done on the system, but q amount of heat is taken out from the system and given to the surroundings. ii. ΔU=Wad​, for an adiabatic wall.
c.  w amount of work is done by the system and q amount of heat is supplied to the system. iii. ∆U  = –q, thermally conducting walls.
 
1. a = i; b = ii; c = iii 2. a = ii; b = i; c = iii
3. a = ii; b = iii; c = i 4. a = iii; b = ii; c = i
