According to the first law of thermodynamics, \mathrm{\Delta U=Q+W}
where \mathrm{\Delta U} is the change in internal energy, Q is the heat transfer, and W is the work done on the system.

Substituting the values:

\mathrm{ Q=200 \mathrm{~J}, W=-150 \mathrm{~J} \text {. } }

Therefore, \mathrm{\Delta U=Q+W=200 \mathrm{~J}-150 \mathrm{~J}=50 \mathrm{~J}.}
