PLEASE HURRY!!!!!!! A sample of gas does 150J of work against its surroundings and loses 90J of internal energy in the process. Does the gas gain or lose heat, and how much?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the heat gained by the system (gas) is 60 J.

Explanation:

Given;

work done by the gas sample, W = 150 J

change in internal energy, ΔU = -90 J

Apply the first law of thermodynamic;

ΔU = Q - W

where;

Q is the heat gained by the system

From the equation above;

Q = ΔU + W

Q = -90 + 150

Q = 60 J

Therefore, the heat gained by the system (gas) is 60 J.
