The First Law of Thermodynamics States That ________________

Question

The first law of thermodynamics states that ________________:
A)energy can be created and transduced from one form to another
B)energy can be destroyed and can be transduced from one form to another
C)energy cannot be created or destroyed and cannot be transduced from one form to another
D)energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transduced from one form to another

Accepted Answer

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transferred or transformed from one form to another. This means that the total amount of energy in a system remains constant, and any energy input must be balanced by an equal amount of energy output. Choice D correctly states this law.
