A system gains 652 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +241 kJ. How much work is done?

Sagot :

Answer:

-411 kj

Explanation:

We solve by using this formula

∆U = ∆Q + ∆W

This formula is the first law of thermodynamics

Change in internal energy U = +241

Heat gained by system Q = 652

Putting the value into the equation

+241 = 652 + W

Workdone = 241 - 652

Workdone = -411 kj

Since work done is negative it means that work was done by the system
