Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a closed system, if 500 J of heat is added and 200 J of work is done by the system, what is the change in internal energy?
Correct Answer: 300 J
  • Step 1: Identify the amount of heat added to the system. In this case, it is 500 J.
  • Step 2: Identify the amount of work done by the system. Here, it is 200 J.
  • Step 3: Recall the formula from the first law of thermodynamics: ΔU = Q - W.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: ΔU = 500 J - 200 J.
  • Step 5: Perform the calculation: 500 J - 200 J = 300 J.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the change in internal energy (ΔU) is 300 J.
