Question

Consider the equation Q=DeltaU+W. Which of the following statements is false? A) This is called the First Law of Thermodynamics
B) This is called the law of conservation of energy.
C) Q can be positive or negative.
D) W is the work done by the system, and not one the system.
E) It follows that since Q and W are path dependent, then DeltaU must also be path dependent. Consider the equation Q=DeltaU+W. Which of the following statements is false? A) This is called the First Law of Thermodynamics

D) W is the work done by the system, and not one the system.
E) It follows that since Q and W are path dependent, then DeltaU must also be path dependent.

Explanation / Answer

E is false.

Q and W are path dependent, U is not it depends only on the state of the system, not how the system got to that state.
