When a system does work what happens to its internal energy?

It decreases.


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.


If work is don adiabatically on a system will the internal energy increase or decrease?

If work is done adiabatically on a system, the internal energy will increase. This is because adiabatic processes do not involve the exchange of heat with the surroundings, so any work done on the system will directly contribute to an increase in its internal energy.


What is the relationship between heat added to a system and the internal energy and external work done by the system-?

When heat is added to or is absorbed by a system, its internal energy increases. The amount of external work a system can do essentially refers to the amount of energy it can transfer to something else. So when internal energy increases, so does the external work done by the system.


What happens to internal energy when mechanical work is done?

Increase.


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.


When mechanical work is done on a system there is an increase in what?

both temperature and internal energy


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.


Which choice best explains what internal energy is as it relates to the first law of thermodynamics?

Internal energy is the sum of the randomly distributed microscopic potential energy and kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the system. The first law of thermodynamics states that: "The internal energy of a system is a function of its state. Any increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system." The first law of thermodynamics is a direct consequence of the principle of conservation of energy.


When a system does work and no heat is added to the system its temperature?

remains constant From Rafaelrz. When a simple closed system does work and no heat is added, the temperature of the system will drop. This is because the work is done at the expense of his internal energy, which is thermal energy.


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).


By what means can the internal energy of a system increase?

there are a number of ways: you could put that system into direct thermal contact with another system of a higher temperature, which would result in a conduction of heat energy from the higher energy system to the lower one. Or you could fire radiation at the system which the system absorbs and thus its internal energy is raised. I think you might increase the energy if you decrease the volume under pressure, because the temperature will increase and you will have done work on the system, hence increasing it internal energy. Like wise, if you spray a deodorant can, it comes out cold, because the compressed gas has done work on the atmosphere, and used up internal energy, hence it feels cold.
