Solve the following problems; (Show your solutions in a separate sheet)

1. The system changes from state 1 to state 2 and its internal energy change is – 188
Joules. During the change, the system does 12 Joules of work on its surroundings.
Does the system absorb heat from the surroundings or release heat to the
surroundings? How many joules are absorbed or released by the system?
2. Calculate the ∆ E and indicate whether the energy of the system has increased or
decreased in the following cases:
a) A system absorbs 145 Joules of heat and does 167 Joules of work
b) Q = - 3.0 KJ and w = - 750 J
c) A system releases 128 Joules of heat while the surroundings does 143 J of work
in on it.
3. If 515 J of heat is added to a gas that does 218 J of work as a result, what is the
change in the energy of the system?
