The work done to compress a gas is 83.0 J. As a result, 27.0 J of heat is given off to the surroundings. Calculate the change in energy of the gas.

ΔU° = 56.0 J

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Calculate the change in the internal energy of the gas (ΔU°)

The internal energy of a gas is the energy contained within it. We can calculate it using the following expression.

ΔU° = q + w

ΔU° = -27.0 J + 83.0 J

ΔU° = 56.0 J

a pan containing water is placed in a positio n where it is exposed to a 10 mile per hour wind. the pan contains a uniform depth of 1.27 cm of water, is quite wide, and has a length of 2.44 m in the wind direction. the water in the pan is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c.
