A system performs mechanical work equal to 15 kJ and looses 2 kJ of heat to surrounding. What is the change in internal energy of a system?
Options
- A-15 kJ
- B-17 kJ
- C13 kJ
- D19 kJ
Correct answer
B. -17 kJ
Step-by-step solution
W =-15 ~kJ , Q =-2 ~kJ According to the first law of thermodynamics, U = Q + W =-2+(-15)=-17 ~kJ .
