Answer:

a)W= - 720 J

b)ΔU= 330 J

Explanation:

Given that

P = 0.8 atm

We know that 1 atm = 100 KPa

P = 80 KPa

V₁ = 12 L = 0.012 m³       ( 1000 L = 1 m³)

V₂ = 3 L = 0.003 m³

Q= - 390 J ( heat is leaving from the system )

We know that work done by gas given as

W = P (V₂ -V₁ )

W= 80 x ( 0.003 - 0.012 ) KJ

W= - 0.72 KJ

W= - 720 J    ( Negative sign indicates work done on the gas)

From first law of thermodynamics

Q = W + ΔU

ΔU=Change in the internal energy

Now by putting the values

- 390 = - 720 + ΔU

ΔU= 720 - 390  J

ΔU= 330 J
