Q.7. In a process, 701 J of heat is absorbed by a system and 394 J of work is done by the system. What is the change in internal energy for the process?
NEETprep Answer:
According to the first law of thermodynamics, ∆U = q + W (i)
Where, ∆U = change in internal energy for a process q = heat W = work Given, q = + 701 J (Since heat is absorbed) W = –394 J (Since work is done by the system) Substituting the values in expression (i), we get ∆U = 701 J + (–394 J) ∆U = 307 J Hence, the change in internal energy for the given process is 307 J.
