Expert Solution
Step 1

Given :

Work done by the system (W) = 2 x 108 J

Heat transfer to the environment (Q) = -6.2 x 10J

Heat transfer is negative because it is occurring to the environment.

Step 2

From first law of thermodynamics :

∆U = Q - W

∆U = -6.2 x 108 - 2 x 108

∆U = -8.2 x 108 J -> Answer
