Calculate the internal energy change in each of the following cases `:-` (i) A system absorbs 15 kJ of head and does 5 kJ of work. (ii) 5 kJ of works is done of the system and 15 kJ of heat is given out by the system.

Answer» (i) Here, `q= + 15 kJ , w= - 5 kJ`
`:.` According to first law of thermodynamics.,
`Delta U = q+w= 15 + (-5) = 10 kJ`
Thus, internal energy of the system increasesby `10 kJ`
(ii) Here,` x= + 5 kJ, q = - 15 kJ`
`:. `According to first law of thermodynamics,
`Delta U = q+ w= -15 + (+5) = - 10kJ`
