In a thermodynamic process pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas releases 20 J of heat and 8 J of work is done on the gas if the initial internal energy of the gas was 30 J. The final internal energy wilI be:

Solution
The correct option is C 18 J dQ = -20J, dW = -8 J, U1=30J By 1st law of thermodynamics, dQ = dU + dW ⇒ dU = dQ-dW = -20 + 8 = -12J Final internal energy, U2=U1+dU = 30-12 = 18 J
