During a process, system absorbs \(710 \mathrm{~J}\) of heat and increases the internal energy by \(460 \mathrm{~J}\). What is the work performed by system?

  1. A -250 J
  2. B -1170 J
  3. C -710 J
  4. D -460 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) -250 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{q}=+710 \mathrm{~J} \\
& \Delta \mathrm{U}=460 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}
\)
From Ist law of thermodynamics,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \Delta \mathrm{U}=\mathrm{q}+\mathrm{w} \\
& 460=710+\mathrm{w} \\
& \mathrm{w}=460-710 \\
& =-250 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}
