The latent heat of vaporisation of water is $2240 \, J/g$. If the work done in the process of expansion of $1 \, g$ of water is $168 \, J$,then the increase in internal energy is ....... $J$.

Calculate the change in internal energy when $1 \,g$ of water is converted into steam at atmospheric pressure $(1.013 \times 10^{5} \,Pa)$. Given the latent heat of vaporisation is $2256 \,J/g$, the volume of $1 \,g$ of water is $1 \,cm^{3}$, and the volume of $1 \,g$ of steam is $1671 \,cm^{3}$.

The $P-V$ diagram of a system undergoing a thermodynamic transformation is shown in the figure. The work done on the system in going from $A \to B \to C$ is $50 \, J$ and $20 \, cal$ of heat is given to the system. The change in internal energy between $A$ and $C$ is ...... $J$.

$A$ gas absorbs $18 \ J$ of heat and work done on the gas is $12 \ J$. Then the change in internal energy of the gas is: (in $J$)

Is $P\Delta V$ an extensive or intensive variable?
