If I add 24,059 J of energy to an ideal gas inside a balloon, causing the internal energy to increase by 7,851 J, how much work is done on the environment by the gas as the balloon expands?

Respuesta :

The energy provided to the closed system is Q = 24059 J

The change in internal energy is

[tex]\Delta U=7851\text{ J}[/tex]

Let the work done be denoted by W

According to the first law of thermodynamics,

[tex]W=Q-\Delta U[/tex]

Substituting the given values, the work done will be

[tex]W=16208\text{ J}[/tex]

The work done will be 16208 J.
