A gas is enclosed in a container fitted with a piston of cross-sectional area 0.10 m2 . the pressure of the gas is maintained at 8000 nm-2 . when heat is slowly transferred, the piston is pushed up through a distance of 4 cm. if 42 j heat is transferred to the system during the expansion, what is the change in internal energy of the system?

Respuesta :

The change in internal energy is 10 J.

Calculation:

Given,

Cross-sectional area, A = 0.10 m²

Pressure of gas, P = 8000 N/m²

Displacement, s = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Heat transferred, H = 42 J

To find,

Change in internal energy =?

We know that, as per Law of thermodynamics,

Change in internal energy = Heat - Work

Force = pressure × area

          = 8000 × 0.10

          = 800 N

Work = Force × Displacement

         = 800 × 0.04

         = 32 J

Change in internal energy = Heat - Work

                                            = 42 - 32

                                            = 10 J

Hence, the change in internal energy is 10 J.
