QUESTION:

Problem 10E

500 J of work are done on a system in a process that decreases the system’s thermal energy by 200 J. How much energy is transferred to or from the system as heat?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of  2

We have to find how much energy is transferred to or from the system as heat.

The energy transferred can be found from first law of thermodynamics.

\(\Delta E_{T h}=W+Q\)

Where,

\(\begin{gathered}\Delta E_{T h}=\text { Thermal energy }= \\\quad-200 \mathrm{~J} \text { (decreasing) } \\\begin{aligned}W=\text { Work done }=500 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned} \end{gathered}\)
