Analyzing Thermodynamics Statements

We need to evaluate the correctness of the given statements regarding thermodynamics and variables.

  • Statement A: Zeroth law of thermodynamics gives the concept of temperature.

    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.

  • Statement B: First law of thermodynamics gives the concept of internal energy.

    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.

  • Statement C: In isothermal expansion of ideal gas, $\Delta Q \neq \Delta W$.

    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.

  • Statement D: Product of intensive and extensive variables is extensive.

    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.

  • Statement E: The ratio of any extensive variable to mass will be an extensive variable.

    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.

Identifying the Correct Combination

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.
