The change in the energy of system if \(500 \mathrm{cal}\) of heat energy are added to a system and system does \(350 \mathrm{cal}\) of work on the surroundings will be

  1. A \(-150 \mathrm{cal}\)
  2. B \(+150 \mathrm{cal}\)
  3. C \(+850 \mathrm{cal}\)
  4. D \(-850 \mathrm{cal}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(+150 \mathrm{cal}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Heat absorbed, \[ q=500 \mathrm{cal} \] Work done by the system, \(W=-350 \mathrm{cal}\) According to the first law of thermodynamics, \(\Delta E=q+W=500+(-350)=+150 \mathrm{cal}\).
