The equation of the first law of thermodynamics q=AE+W, will reduce at constant volume to:

Correct answer: D. qv = E

  • A. ΔE+W
  • B. qv = E +PΔV
  • C. qv= E+W
  • D. qv = E
  • E. qv = PΔGV

Explanation

The equation of the first law of thermodynamics, q = ΔE + W, reduces at constant volume to qv = ΔE.At constant volume (no work is done), the work term (W) becomes zero. Therefore, the equation simplifies to qv = ΔE, where qv represents the heat transfer at constant volume, and ΔE represents the change in internal energy. Therefore option D is the correct answer.
