The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding the isothermal expansion of an ideal gas. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Isothermal Expansion**: - Isothermal expansion refers to the process in which an ideal gas expands at a constant temperature (T). During this process, the internal energy (U) of an ideal gas, which depends only on temperature, remains constant. 2. **Evaluating Statement 1**: - **Statement 1**: "During isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, there is no change in the internal energy." - Since the temperature does not change during isothermal processes, the change in internal energy (ΔU) can be expressed as: \[ \Delta U = nC_v \Delta T \] where \(C_v\) is the molar heat capacity at constant volume. Because \(\Delta T = 0\), we find that: \[ \Delta U = nC_v \cdot 0 = 0 \] - Therefore, Statement 1 is **true**. 3. **Evaluating Statement 2**: - **Statement 2**: "During isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, as temperature remains constant, no heat enters or leaves the system." - In reality, during isothermal expansion, while the temperature remains constant, the gas does perform work (W) on the surroundings. According to the first law of thermodynamics: \[ \Delta U = Q + W \] Since \(\Delta U = 0\) (as established in Statement 1), we have: \[ 0 = Q + W \implies Q = -W \] - This indicates that heat (Q) must flow into or out of the system to compensate for the work done by the gas. Therefore, Statement 2 is **false**. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the evaluations, we conclude that: - Statement 1 is true. - Statement 2 is false. - Thus, the correct answer is that Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false.
