CONCEPT:

The first law of thermodynamics:

  • The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy supplied to the system goes in part to increase the internal energy of the system and the rest in work on the environment.


⇒ Q = W + ΔU

Where U = internal energy of the system, Q = amount of heat, and W = work done

Kelvin-Planck statement:

  • No process is possible whose sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and the complete conversion of the heat into work. 


Clausius statement:

  • No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a colder object to a hotter object.


EXPLANATION:

Clausius statement:

  • No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a colder object to a hotter object. Hence, option 2 is correct.
