Question

Q1a: What is the change in internal energy of a system (ΔU) if 5.42 kl of heat is absorbed by the system and 3425 J of work is done on the system (by the surroundings) for a certain process?

Expess your answer in kJ

1b: A sample of oxygen gas (O₂) effuses into a vacuum 1.8 times faster than an unknown gas. What is the molecular weight of this unknown gas (in g mol^-1)? Do not try to identify the gas.

Step 1

A. From the first law of thermodynamics: 

Q + W = ∆U ...(1)

Here, Q = +5.42 kJ (as heat absorbed by the system) and W = 3425 J = +3.425 kJ (as work is done on system)

Putting these values into equation 1 we have : 

∆U = 5.42+3.425 = 8.845 kJ
