JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 9th April Evening Slot - No. 16)

During compression of a spring the work done is 10kJ and 2kJ escaped to the surroundings as heat. The change in internal energy, $$\Delta $$U(inkJ) is :
- 12
8
- 8
12

Explanation

Here heat is released so q is negative.

$$ \therefore $$ q = - 2 kJ

Work done on the system, w = 10 kJ

From first law of thermodynamics,

$$\Delta $$U = q + w = -2 + 10 = 8 kJ
