Answer:
0.125 moles
Explanation:
2.8 litres is equivalent to 2.8dm³
At STP,
1 mole = 22.4 dm³
x mole = 2.8 dm³
Cross multiply
22.4x = 2.8
Divide both sides by 22.4
x = 2.8/22.4
x = 0.125
This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Answer : The change in internal energy is, 900 Joules.
Solution : Given,
Heat given to the system = +1400 J
Work done by the system = -500 J
Change in internal energy is equal to the sum of heat energy and work done.
Formula used :

where,
= change in internal energy
q = heat energy
w = work done
As per question, heat is added to the system that means, q is positive and work done by the system that means, w is negative.
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

Therefore, the change in internal energy is 900 J.
The change in internal energy depends on the heat energy and work done. As we will change in the heat energy and work done, then changes will occur in the internal energy. Hence, the energy is conserved.
