Question #1
Ideal gas internal energy depends on:
A. Pressure
B. All state variables
C. Temperature only
D. Volume

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ideal gas: no intermolecular forces ⇒ internal energy = kinetic energy ∝ T. U = f/2 nRT. Memory tip: 'Ideal gas: U = U(T) only; real gases have V dependence'. Thermodynamics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
A radioactive substance has half-life of 10 days. Fraction remaining after 30 days is
A. 1/8
B. 1/2
C. 1/16
D. 1/4

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Number of half-lives = 30/10 = 3. Remaining = (1/2)³ = 1/8. Exponential decay N = N₀(1/2)^(t/T). Radioactive decay constant λ = ln2/T.

Question #3
Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg°C. How much heat is required to raise temperature of 2 kg water by 10°C?
A. 42000 J
B. 8400 J
C. 4200 J
D. 84000 J

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Q = mcΔθ = 2 × 4200 × 10 = 84,000 J = 84 kJ. Large specific heat of water makes it useful for cooling and climate moderation. Always check units: mass kg, c J/kg°C, ΔT °C.
