E. The ratio of any extensive variable to mass will be an extensive variable
Choose the correct combination of statements from the options given below:
We need to evaluate the correctness of the given statements regarding thermodynamics and variables.
The Zeroth Law states that if two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This establishes the concept of temperature as a property that determines thermal equilibrium.
Result: Correct.
The First Law is a statement of conservation of energy, often expressed as $\Delta U = \Delta Q - \Delta W$, where $\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy, $\Delta Q$ is heat added, and $\Delta W$ is work done by the system. It inherently defines and relates internal energy.
Result: Correct.
For an ideal gas, internal energy ($U$) depends only on temperature ($T$). In an isothermal process, $\Delta T = 0$, which implies $\Delta U = 0$. According to the First Law ($\Delta U = \Delta Q - \Delta W$), if $\Delta U = 0$, then $\Delta Q = \Delta W$. The statement claims $\Delta Q \neq \Delta W$.
Result: Incorrect.
An intensive variable does not depend on the system size (e.g., temperature $T$, pressure $P$), while an extensive variable does (e.g., volume $V$, mass $m$). The product of an intensive variable and an extensive variable results in an extensive variable. For example, Pressure (intensive) $\times$ Volume (extensive) = Work (extensive).
Result: Correct.
Dividing an extensive variable by mass (which is also extensive) yields a specific property, which is intensive. For example, Volume (extensive) / Mass (extensive) = Specific Volume (intensive). Similarly, Energy (extensive) / Mass (extensive) = Specific Energy (intensive).
Result: Incorrect.
Based on the analysis, statements A, B, and D are correct. Statement C claims $\Delta Q \neq \Delta W$ in isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, which is false ($\Delta Q = \Delta W$); Statement E claims the ratio of extensive/mass is extensive, which is false (it's intensive).
Therefore, the correct combination includes statements A, B, and D.
10 mole of an ideal gas is undergoing the process shown in the figure. The heat involved in the process from $P_1$ to $P_2$ is $\alpha \text{ Joule}$ ($P_1 = 21.7 \text{ Pa}$ and $P_2 = 30 \text{ Pa}, C_v = 21 \text{ J/K.mol}, R = 8.3 \text{ J/mol.K}$). The value of $\alpha$ is _______.

A thermodynamic system is taken through the cyclic process ABC as shown in the figure. The total work done by the system during the cycle $ABC$ is _________ $\text{J}$.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Statement I: Change in internal energy of a system containing $n$ mole of ideal gas can be written as $\Delta U = n C_v (T_f - T_i) = \frac{nR}{\gamma - 1}(T_f - T_i)$, where $\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$, $T_i = \text{initial temperature}$, $T_f = \text{final temperature}$.
Statement II: Relation between degree of freedom $f$ and $\gamma (= C_p / C_v)$ is $\left(\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f}\right)$
