Formulas Used

For an ideal gas undergoing a constant pressure process (1.00 atm$1.00\text{ atm}$):

Change in internal energy (Δ U$\Delta U$):

For a monoatomic gas like Argon:

• Cv = (3)/(2) R$C_v = \frac{3}{2} R$
• Cₚ = (5)/(2) R$C_p = \frac{5}{2} R$

Core Logic

Step 1: Calculate the final temperature (Tf$T_f$) Heat transferred at constant pressure (qₚ$q_p$) = 500 J$500\text{ J}$

---

Step 2: Calculate the change in internal energy (Δ U$\Delta U$)

Alternatively, using the ratio of heat capacities:

Thus, the final temperature is 348 K$348\text{ K}$ and the change in internal energy is 300 J$300\text{ J}$.

Pattern Recognition

For a monoatomic ideal gas under constant pressure, exactly 60%$60\%$ of the heat added ((Cv)/(Cₚ) = (3)/(5)$\frac{C_v}{C_p} = \frac{3}{5}$) goes into increasing the internal energy (Δ U$\Delta U$), while 40%$40\%$ is lost to expansion work (W$W$).

Correct Option: (A)

Core Logic

Free expansion means expansion against a vacuum (Pₑₓₜ = 0$P_{ext} = 0$). Work done: w = -Pₑₓₜ Δ V$w = -P_{ext} \Delta V$. Since Pₑₓₜ = 0$P_{ext} = 0$, w = 0$w = 0$.

Adiabatic condition means there is no heat exchange with the surroundings. Heat transfer: q = 0$q = 0$.

According to the First Law of Thermodynamics, Δ U = q + w$\Delta U = q + w$. Since q = 0$q = 0$ and w = 0$w = 0$, the change in internal energy Δ U = 0$\Delta U = 0$.

For an ideal gas, internal energy is a function of temperature only (Δ U = nCvΔ T$\Delta U = nC_v\Delta T$). If Δ U = 0$\Delta U = 0$, then Δ T = 0$\Delta T = 0$.

Step 1: Final Parameter Check

Evaluating all parameters simultaneously: q = 0$q = 0$ w = 0$w = 0$ Δ T = 0$\Delta T = 0$

Pattern Recognition

Adiabatic + Free Expansion of IDEAL gas arrow$\rightarrow$ Nothing changes thermodynamically except volume and pressure. q = 0, w = 0, Δ U = 0, Δ T = 0, Δ H = 0$q = 0, w = 0, \Delta U = 0, \Delta T = 0, \Delta H = 0$.

Core Logic

According to the second law of thermodynamics, at constant temperature and pressure, the change in Gibbs free energy (Δ G$\Delta G$) dictates the spontaneity of a process.

• If Δ G lt 0$\Delta G \lt 0$ (negative), the process is spontaneous.
• If Δ G gt 0$\Delta G \gt 0$ (positive), the process is non-spontaneous.
• If Δ G = 0$\Delta G = 0$, the system is in equilibrium (reversible process).

Therefore, the statement "Δ G$\Delta G$ is positive for a spontaneous reaction" is factually incorrect.
