Question
Activity 1. Solving Problems related to First Law of Thermodynamics
1. A gas expands and does work on the surroundings equal to 279 J. At the same
time, it absorbs 216 J of heat from the surroundings. What is the change in
energy of the system?
2. A certain gas expands in volume from 2.0 L to 6.0 L at constant temperature.
Calculate the work done by the gas if it expands against a constant pressure of
1.2 atm.
3. A person heats up a can of soup on a stove. If they do 250 joules of work on the
soup by stirring it as the burner adds 1675 joules of heat, what is the change in its
internal energy?
