Method 5 of W Heat taken from a gas in a process is 80 J and increase in internal energy of the gas is 20J. Find work done by the gas in the given process. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A Heat is taken from the gas. Therefore, Q is negative. Or, `Q=-80J` Internal energy of the gas is increasing. Therefore, `DeltaU` is positive. Or `DeltaU=+20J` Using the first law eqution, `Q=W+DeltaU` or `W=Q-DeltaU=-80-20=-100J` Here, negative sign indicates that volume of the gas is decreasing and work is done on the gas. |
