Question

What is the change in internal energy if 60 J of heat are released from a
system and 20 J of work is done on the system? Use AU = Q-W.

1. trucchi

60 J of heat are released from the system: Q=-60 J

20 J of work is done on the system: W=-20 J

∆U=Q-W

∆U=-60-(-20)

∆U=-40 J

Explanation:

If the heat is released from the system, Q should be negative.

If the heat is gained by the system, Q should be positive.

If the work is done on the system, W should be negative.

If the work is done by the system, W should be positive.
