NEET Chemistry First Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11

Which of the following statements about the First Law of Thermodynamics is correct?

A

The change in internal energy of a system is independent of the path taken.

B

Energy can be created or destroyed in an isolated system.

C

The First Law applies only to exothermic reactions.

D

The total energy of an isolated system can vary with time.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy (∆U) is dependent only on the initial and final states, making it independent of the path taken. This aligns with the statement in the NCERT context about the equation ∆U = q + w, which is a mathematical representation of this principle.
