Options:
  • A \(2 \mathrm{~J}\)
  • B \(-18 \mathrm{~J}\)
  • C \(10 \mathrm{~J}\)
  • D \(58 \mathrm{~J}\)

The correct answer is: \(10 \mathrm{~J}\)
Given, heat, \(Q=-30 \mathrm{~J}\)
Work done on the gas, \(W=-10 \mathrm{~J}\)
Initial internal energy, \(U_i=-10 \mathrm{~J}\)
Final internal energy, \(U_f=\) ?
According to first law of thermodynamics,
\(\begin{array}{ll}
& Q=W+\Delta U \\
\Rightarrow & -30=-10+U_i-U_f \\
\Rightarrow & -30=-10-10-U_f \\
\Rightarrow & 30=10+10+U_f \\
\Rightarrow & 30-20=U_f \\
\Rightarrow & U_f=10 \mathrm{~J}
\end{array}\)
