What is internal energy change when \(62 \mathrm{~J}\) of work is done on the system and \(128 \mathrm{~J}\) of heat is transferred to surrounding?

  1. A -62 J
  2. B -190 J
  3. C -128 J
  4. D -66 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) -66 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work done on the system \(=+62 \mathrm{~J}\)
Heat released to the surrounding \(=-128 \mathrm{~J}\)
From first law of thermodynamics,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \Delta \mathrm{U}=\mathrm{q}+\mathrm{W} \\
& =-128+62 \\
& =-66 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}\)
