The first law of thermodynamics is a statement of the law of conservation of:
- A.Momentum
- B.Mass
- C.Energy
- D.Entropy
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C — Energy
Solution
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. It essentially applies the principle of conservation of energy to thermodynamic systems.
