Which of the following correctly describes the concept of heat?
**First law applications** for isobaric W = P ΔV, Q = n C_p ΔT, ΔU = n C_v ΔT, for isothermal ideal gas ΔU=0 Q=W=n R T ln(V₂/V₁), for adiabatic Q=0 W= -ΔU = (P₁V₁ - P₂V₂)/(γ-1), for isochoric W=0 ΔU=Q=n C_v ΔT, enabling calculation of Q,W,ΔU for any process. Heat is energy transferred due to a temperature difference, not a stored property or work form. Option B is correct. Using first law ΔU = Q - W, W = ∫ P dV, isobaric W = P ΔV, isothermal W = n R T ln(V₂/V₁), adiabatic P V^γ = const and η = 1 -
