Calculate the internal energy for a system that absorbs 100kJ of heat and had 65kJ of work done to it. please show steps.
The amount of heat energy absorbed , q = +100 kJ
Work done , W = -65 kJ
According to first law of thermodynamics q = E + W
So internal energy , E = q - W
= + 100 - (-65) kJ
= 165 kJ
Therefore the internal energy of the system is +165 kJ
