A system is given 400 calories of heat and it does 800 joules of work. How much does the internal energy of the system change in this process (J = 4.18 joules/cal)
2472 J
872 J
654 J
2944 J
As we discussed in concept
First law of Thermodynamics -
Heat imported to a body in is in general used to increase internal energy and work done against external pressure.
- wherein
Q = 400 cal = 400 x 4.18 J
= 1672 J
W = 800 J
