    Change in internal energy from A → B

    ∆U =
    f
    nR∆T =
    f
    nR (Tf – Ti)
    5
    {PfVf – PiVi}
    222

    (As gas is diatomic ∴ f = 5)
    =
    5
    {2 × 10³ × 6 – 5 × 10³ × 4}
    2

    =
    5
    {12 - 20} × 10³J = 5 × (-4) × 10³J
    2

    ∆U = - 20KJ

    Vapour pressure  does not depend on the amount of substance. It depends on the temperature alone.

    Correct Option: B

    Vapour pressure  does not depend on the amount of substance. It depends on the temperature alone.

    P1 > P2

    As V = constant ⇒ P∝ T
    Hence from V–T graph P1 > P2

    Correct Option: B

    P1 > P2

    As V = constant ⇒ P∝ T
    Hence from V–T graph P1 > P2
