A diatomic gas has an initial internal energy of \(80 \mathrm{cal}\). A work of \(18 \mathrm{cal}\) is done on the gas and the gas releases heat energy of \(42 \mathrm{~J}\). The final internal energy of the gas is

  1. A \(20 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(369.6 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(54 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(20 \mathrm{cal}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(369.6 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial internal energy, \(\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{i}}=80 \mathrm{cal}=80 \times 4.2 \mathrm{~J}\) Work done, \(\mathrm{W}=18 \mathrm{cal}=18 \times 4.2 \mathrm{~J}\) Heat released, \(Q=42 \mathrm{~J}\) Final internal energy, \(\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{f}}=\) ? using 1st law of…
