A gas absorbs 18 J of heat and work done on the gas is 12 J, Then the change in internal energy of the gas

  1. A 24 J
  2. B 36 J
  3. C 6 J
  4. D 30 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 30 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For the gas, \(\mathrm{Q}=18 \mathrm{~J}, \mathrm{~W}=-12 \mathrm{~J}\) \(\therefore \quad\) Change in internal energy, \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=\Delta \mathrm{Q}-\mathrm{W}=18-(-12)=30 \mathrm{~J}\)
