If a system has 4.50×102 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00×102 kJ of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in internal energy (ΔE or Δ????) of the system?

The change in internal energy (ΔE) of the system is equal to -18823 Kilojoules.

Given the following data:

  • Quantity of heat = [tex]5.00 \times 10^2 \;kJ[/tex]
  • Work done = [tex]4.50 \times 10^2 \;kcal[/tex]

Conversion:

1 kcal = 4.184 kJ

[tex]4.50 \times 10^2 \;kcal[/tex] = [tex]4.50 \times 10^2 \times 4.184 = 18828 \; kJ[/tex]

To determine the change in internal energy (ΔE) of the system, we would apply the first law of thermodynamics.​

Mathematically, the first law of thermodynamics is given by the formula:

[tex]\Delta E = Q - W[/tex]

Where;

  • [tex]\Delta E[/tex] is the change in internal energy.
  • Q is the quantity of heat released.
  • W is the work done.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]\Delta E = 5 - 18828\\\\\Delta E = -18823[/tex]

Change in internal energy, E = -18823 Kilojoules
