In a thermodynamic process, the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas releases 20 ~J of heat and 8 ~J of work is done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was 30 ~J , then the final internal energy will be
Options
- A2 ~J
- B42 ~J
- C18 ~J
- D58 ~J
Correct answer
C. 18 ~J
Step-by-step solution
Given Q =-20 ~J , ~W =-8 ~J Using Ist law Q = U + W array l Q=-20+8=-12 ~J Uf =-12+30=18 ~J array
