Answer:
[tex]\Delta E=21.34kJ[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we should apply the first law of thermodynamics to compute the energy change:
[tex]\Delta E=Q-W[/tex]
Thus, with the given volume change we compute the corresponding work in kJ:
[tex]W=P\Delta V=0.276atm*(1.876L-0.0432L)*\frac{101.325kPa}{1atm}*\frac{1m^3}{1000L}=0.0513kJ[/tex]
Then, we compute the energy change:
[tex]\Delta E=21.39kJ-0.0512kJ\\\\\Delta E=21.34kJ[/tex]
Best regards.
