A small sample of methane burns, releasing 120.0 kJ of heat and doing 830.0 kJ of work. The total energy released is -950.0 kJ.

  • What is energy?

Energy is a property that is transferred to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light.

A small sample of methane undergoes combustion. As the hot gas mixture expands, it releases energy (E).

  • It releases 120.0 kJ of heat. By convention, when heat is released, we assign it a negative sign. Thus, q = -120.0 kJ.
  • It does 830.0 kJ of work. By convention, when the system does work on the surroundings, we assign it a negative sign. Thus, w = -830.0 kJ.

The change in the energy is the sum of the heat released and the work done.

ΔE = q + w = -120.0 kJ + (-830.0 kJ) = -950.0 kJ

A small sample of methane burns, releasing 120.0 kJ of heat and doing 830.0 kJ of work. The total energy released is -950.0 kJ.
