Answer:
ΔE = 150 J
Explanation:
From first law of thermodynamics, we know that;
ΔE = q + w
Where;
ΔE is change in internal energy
q is total amount of heat energy going in or coming out
w is total amount of work expended or received
From the question, the system receives 575 J of heat. Thus, q = +575 J
Also, we are told that the system delivered 425 J of work. Thus, w = -425 J since work was expended.
Thus;
ΔE = 575 + (-425)
ΔE = 575 - 425
ΔE = 150 J
The answer to that is mass and chemical
Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown
of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from
the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does
not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>
