First law of thermodynamics is based on
Correct answer: D. Law of conservatlon of energy
- A. Law of conservation of momentum
- B. Law of conservation of mass
- C. Law of conservation of charge
- D. Law of conservatlon of energy
Explanation
The first law of thermodynamics is based on the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transferred from one form to another

About First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law relates heat supplied, work done and the change in internal energy through energy conservation. Problems use sign conventions and apply the law to isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric and isochoric processes. Internal energy is a state function, while heat and work depend on the path followed.
