JEE Main20199 Apr 2019Evening ShiftChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
During compression of a spring the work done is 10 k J and 2 k J escaped to the surroundings as heat. The change in internal energy, Δ U i n   k J is:
Options
- A- 8
- B8
- C12
- D- 12
Correct answer
B. 8
Step-by-step solution
From the first Law of Thermodynamics, ∆ U = q + W     ∆ U = - 2 + 10         q = - 2   k J ;   Heat released   W = + 10   k J ; work done on the system   ∆ U = 8   k J
