a system does 124 j of work on its environment and gains 80 j of heat in the process. (a) what is the change in the internal energy of the system?

Respuesta :

309J is the change in the internal energy of the system . If a system does 124 j of work on its environment and gains 80 j of heat in the process.

In a few words, what is work?

Force applied across a distance is called work. Examples of labor include dragging down a captive helium balloon, pushing a car up a hill, and raising an object against the gravitational attraction of the Earth. Energy manifests mechanically as work.

Briefing :

Change in the volume of the gas = 5.55 - 1.22

                                                      = 4.33 X 10⁻³ m³

 external pressure ( constant ) P = 1 x 10⁵ Pa

                 work done on the gas

                                                      =external pressure x change in volume

                                                      = 10⁵ x  4.33 X 10⁻³

                                                      =4.33 x 10²

                                                      =433 J

Using the formula

Q = ΔE + W , Q is heat added , ΔE is change in internal energy , W is work done by the gas

Given

  Q = - 124 J ( heat is released so negative )

 W = - 433 J . ( work done by gas is negative, because it is done on gas  )

- 124 = ΔE - 433

  ΔE = 433  - 124

       = 309 J

There is increase of 309 J in the internal energy of the gas.
