A system absorbs 12 J of heat from the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 J of work is done on the system. What is the change of the internal energy ΔEth of the system?

Respuesta :

Answer: The value of change in internal energy of the system is, 40 J.

Explanation : Given,

Heat  absorb from the surroundings = 12 J

Work done on the system = 28 J

First law of thermodynamic : It is a law of conservation of energy in which the total mass and the energy of an isolated system remains constant.

As per first law of thermodynamic,

[tex]\Delta U=q+w[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta U[/tex] = internal energy  = ?

q = heat  absorb from the surroundings

w = work done on the system

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the change in internal energy of the system.

[tex]\Delta U=12J+28J[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U=40J[/tex]

Therefore, the value of change in internal energy of the system is, 40J.
