Q: Which of the following processes is not governed by the First Law of Thermodynamics?
Solution: All the listed processes are governed by the First Law of Thermodynamics, so the answer is 'None of the above'.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand what the First Law of Thermodynamics states. It says that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
Step 2: Look at the processes listed in the question. Identify if they involve energy transformation.
Step 3: Determine if any of the processes do not involve energy transformation. If all involve energy transformation, then they are governed by the First Law.
Step 4: Conclude that since all listed processes involve energy transformation, they are all governed by the First Law.
Step 5: Therefore, the answer to the question is 'None of the above'.
