Air in a balloon does 40 J of work expanding the balloon while absorbing 60 J of heat. What is the change in internal energy

DU = 20 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Heat absorbed, Q = 60J

Workdone, W = 40J

To find the internal energy;

We would use first law of thermodynamics given by the formula;

Change in internal energy (DU) = Q - W

where;

U is internal energy.

Q is the heat absorbed.

W is the work done.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

DU = 60 - 40

DU = 20 Joules

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
