A system gains 3220 J of heat at a constant pressure of 1.32 × 105 Pa, and its internal energy increases by 3990 J. What is the change in the volume of the system, and is it an increase or a decrease?

ΔV= -5.833×10⁻³

Negative sign indicates that volume decreases

Explanation:

Given data

System heat gains Q=3220 J

Pressure P=1.32×10⁵Pa

Internal energy increases ΔU=3990 J

To find

Change in volume ΔV

Solution

First we need to find the work done

So

W=Q-ΔU

W=3220J-3990J

W= -770J

Now for the change in volume at constant pressure

ΔV=(W/P)

ΔV= -5.833×10⁻³

Negative sign indicates that volume decreases

The volume of the system decrease

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

Here is the change in internal energy, Q is the heat gained and W is the work done by the system.

In other hand, the work done by a system at constant pressure is given by:

Here P is the pressure and the change in the volume of the system. So, replacing this in the first equation and solving for :

The negative sign indicates that volume decrease

i believe the answer is a hope it and is correct

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
