Question
At a certain temperature, T (K), during a process, 500 J is absorbed by the system and work of 200 J is done by the system. Then, change in internal energy of the system is :
At a certain temperature, T (K), during a process, 500 J is absorbed by the system and work of 200 J is done by the system. Then, change in internal energy of the system is :
B. 300 J
According to the first law of thermodynamics: U = q + W Heat absorbed by the system, q = +500 J Work done by the system, W = -200 J Substituting the given values: U = 500 + (-200) = 300 J Answer: 300 J
