Answer:

-2 kJ.

Explanation:

Given:

∆Q = 1 kJ

W = 1 kJ

Using the first law of thermodynamics in application to conservation of energy,

∆U = ∆Q - W

Where,

∆U = change in internal energy

∆Q = heat supplied to the system

W = workdone by the system

∆U = -1 - 1

= -2 kJ.

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the heater is 0 kJ

Explanation:

∆U = Q - W

Q is quantity of heat transferred = 1 kJ

W is work done on the heater = 1 kJ

Change in internal energy (∆U) = 1 - 1 = 0 kJ

Olenka [21]
A calorimeter contains reactants and a substance to absorb the heat absorbed. The initial temperature (before the reaction) of the heat absorbent is measured and then the final temperature (after the reaction) is also measured. The absorbent's specific heat capacity and mass are also known. Given all of this data, the equation:
Q = mcΔT 
To find the heat released.
