A box of a gas in a room of a higher temperature. The room transfer 1080j of energy to the gas. 400j of work are done to the gas. What is the net total change of internal energy the gas in the box
The net change in internal energy of the gas can be calculated using the first law of thermodynamics:
ΔU = Q - W
where ΔU is the change in internal energy, Q is the amount of heat transferred to the gas, and W is the work done on the gas.
In this case, Q = 1080 J (heat transferred to the gas) and W = -400 J (negative sign indicating work done on the gas).
Plugging in these values:
ΔU = 1080 J - (-400 J)
= 1080 J + 400 J
= 1480 J
Therefore, the net total change in internal energy of the gas in the box is 1480 J.
The net total change of internal energy of the gas can be calculated by considering the energy transferred to the gas and the work done on the gas.
Given:
Energy transferred to the gas = 1080 J
Work done on the gas = 400 J
The net total change of internal energy can be calculated using the following equation:
Change in internal energy = Energy transferred to the gas - Work done on the gas
Substituting the given values, we have:
Change in internal energy = 1080 J - 400 J
Change in internal energy = 680 J
Therefore, the net total change of internal energy of the gas in the box is 680 J.
