The first law of thermodynamics for a closed system is dU = dq + dw, where dw = `dw_(pv)+dw_("non-pv")`. The most common type of `w_("non-pv")` is electrical work. As per IUPAC convention work done on the system is positive. A system generates 50 J of electrical energy and delivers 150 J of pressure-volume work against the surroundings while releasing 300 J of heat energy. What is the change in the internal energy of the system?A. `-100`B. `-400`C. `-300`D. `-500` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D `DeltaU=-300+(-50-150)=-500` |
