A system absorbs 640J heat and does work of 260J the change in internal energy of the system will be?

the system has been given internal energy of 640j and the work system does on surroundings is 260j. therefore by first law of thermodynamics the internal energy of system increases by (640-260=380)j.


Does internal energy of system depends upon volume?

Internal energy is an extensive state function. That means it depends on how much of a substance you have but if you fix the composition, pressure, temperature, volume, and (in the case of a system at a phase equlibrium point, like water at the freezing point) the phase of a system, the specific internal energy will be constant. If you take a closed system and change the volume of it, you will be doing work (or allowing the system to do work) and the internal energy can change - so - yes - internal energy of a system depends upon volume. Also, if you fix the composition, temperature, pressure, and phase of a homogeneous mass but change the volume, you will increase the amount of mass you included in the system, thus changing the total internal energy (because it is, after all, an extensive function).


What is the balance chemical equation for the first law of thermodynamics?

dU=q-w where dU is the differential change in internal energy q is the differential quantity of heat added to a system w is the differential quantity of work done by a system on its surroundings


What is the change in the internal energy of a system that absorbs 2.500J of heat and that does 7.655J of work on the surroundings is?

5.155


When 430 J of work is done on a system it lost 120 J energy as heat Calculate the value of internal energy change for this process?

The first law of thermodynamics requires that energy input must equal energy output plus energy accumulation. In this case that translates to; 430 J = 120 J + (internal energy change) so Internal energy change = 430 J - 120 J = +310 J (the internal energy increased by 310 Joules)


What is the change in internal energy when a system is heated with 35 J of energy while it does 15 J of work?

-15.2 J


When reactants change to products do the chemicals lose or gain energy?

The formation of bonds causes an energy release, while the breaking of bonds causes an absorption of energy. In a combustion reaction c+o2 --> co2, the reactants have a higher internal energy than the products resulting in a negative internal energy because energy is flowing out of the system to the surroundings. However in co2 ---> c+o2, the reactants have a lower internal energy than the products, so the internal energy of the system is positive as energy is flowing into the system from the surroundings.


The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in the internal energy of a system is equal to the difference in energy transferred to or from the systems as work and?

Assuming you are talking about a closed system, it is the difference in energy transferred to or from the system as work and HEAT.


What is the change in internal energy if 20 joules of heat is released from a system and the system does 50 joules of work on the surroundings?

-70 Joules


What happens to the internal energy of a system when work is done on it?

If the internal energy of the system increases the temperature will increase.


What is The first law of Themodynamics?

* First law of thermodynamics, about the conservation of energy: : :: The change in the internal energy of a closed thermodynamic system is equal to the sum of the amount of heat energy supplied to the system and the work done on the system. --from Wikipedia


In what situations does the law of conservation of energy not apply?

In general Conservation of Energy does not hold internal to a system, it only holds at the boundary of the system. This is where the limits of the system are. Internal to the system energy is not conserved. The situations where the Conservation does not apply is where the force is not zero or the first derivative of energy is not zero.
