11.Thermodynamics
normal
If $\Delta Q$ and $\Delta W$ represent the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system respectively, then the first law of thermodynamics can be written as
where $\Delta U$ is the internal energy
A
$\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$
B
$\Delta Q = \Delta U - \Delta W$
C
$\Delta Q = \Delta W - \Delta U$
D
$\Delta Q = - \Delta W - \Delta U$
Solution
(b)From FLOT $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$
Heat supplied to the system so $\Delta Q →$ Positive
and work is done on the system so $\Delta W →$ Negative
Hence +$\Delta Q = \Delta U – \Delta W$
