A gas absorbs 25 kJ of heat and does 12 kJ of work. Calculate ΔE.
Added by Carrie W.
Step 1
We need to find the change in internal energy (ΔE). According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy (ΔE) is equal to the heat absorbed (Q) minus the work done (W) by the system: ΔE = Q - W Now, we can plug in the given values: Show more…
