The 1st law of thermodynamics states that internal energy change of a system equals net heat transfer minus net work done by the system.

Question 10:
An ideal gas is pumped into a rigid container having diathermic walls so that the temperature remains constant. In a certain time interval, the pressure in the container is doubled. Is the internal energy of the contents of the container also doubled in the interval ?
ANSWER:
An ideal gas is continuously being pumped into the container. Therefore, the number of moles, n are continuously increasing. In a certain interval,
Pressure, P2 = 2P1
n2 = 2n1
Thus, internal energy, U = nCvT will double as the number of moles get doubled.
