1)

A gas performs 0.20 kJ work on surrounding and absorbs  120 J  of heat from the surrounding. Hence, change in internal energy is 


A) 200 J

B) 120.2 J

C) -200 J

D) 440 J

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics,

 $\triangle$ U= q+w

 Since, work done on the surrounding.

 So, W= -0.320 kJ

  =-320 J

 q=120J

 $\therefore$   $\triangle$ U= -320+120

                                     =-200 J
