1 Which fundamental principle is described by the First Law of Thermodynamics?

A The total entropy of an isolated system can only increase over time.
B Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
C The entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is exactly zero.
D Heat spontaneously flows from a colder body to a hotter body.

2 What does the Second Law of Thermodynamics primarily state about entropy?

A Entropy is always conserved in any thermodynamic process.
B The total entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time, moving towards a state of greater disorder.
C Entropy of a system always decreases when work is done on it.
D Entropy can be completely converted into useful work without any loss.

3 What concept is established by the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics?

A The conservation of energy in all processes.
B The direction of spontaneous processes and reactions.
C The definition of absolute zero temperature.
D The concept of thermal equilibrium and the transitive property of temperature.

4 In an adiabatic process, what defines the exchange of heat with the surroundings?

A Temperature remains constant throughout the process.
B Pressure remains constant throughout the process.
C No heat is exchanged with the surroundings (Q=0).
D Volume remains constant throughout the process.
