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.
