1. A gas expands and does p-v work on the surroundings equal to
279j. At the same time it absorbs, 216j of heat from the surroundings. What
is the change in energy of the system?


Please answer if yk

Respuesta :

The change in energy of the system : -63 J

Further explanation

Given

279 J work

216 J heat

Required

The change in energy

Solution

Laws of thermodynamics 1

ΔU=Q+W

Rules :

  • receives heat, Q +  
  • releases heat, Q -  
  • work is done by a system, W -  
  • work is done on a system, W +  

a gas work on the surrounding : W =-279 J

a gas absorb heat from surrounding : Q = +216 J

Internal energy :

= -279+216

= -63 J
