In a reaction, 2.5 kJ of heat is released from the system and 5.5 kJ of work is done on the system. Find ΔU.

Answer»

Given : 

Q = -2.5 kJ 

(since heat is released) 

W= + 5.5 kJ 

(since the work will be of compression) 

ΔU = ? 

ΔU = Q + W 

= -2.5 + 5.5 

= +3 kJ 

Internal energy of the system will increase by 3 kJ.

∴ ΔU = 3 kJ
