The change in the energy of system if 500 cal of heat energy are added to a system and system does 350 cal of work on the surroundings will be
Options
- A-150 cal
- B+150 cal
- C+850 cal
- D-850 cal
Correct answer
B. +150 cal
Step-by-step solution
According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy U of a system is given by the equation U = Q - W , where Q is the heat added to the system and W is the work done by the system. Given values are Q = +500 cal (heat added to the system) and W = +350 cal (work done by the system). Substituting these values into the equation: U = 500 cal - 350 cal U = +150 cal Answer: +150 cal
