Given:
The thermal energy added to the system is Q = 90 J
The work done by the system on the surroundings is W = 30 J
To find the change in internal energy.
Explanation:
According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy can be calculated by the formula

On substituting the values, the change in internal energy will be

Final Answer: The chage in internal energy is 60 J (option D)
A) lighting an electric lamp as it becomes darker
1)
p = 2.4 * 10^5 Pa
T = 18° C + 273.15 = 291.15 k
r = 0.25 m => V = [4/3]π(r^3) = [4/3]π(0.25m)^3 = 0.06545 m^3 = 65.45 L
Use ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT = [2.4*10^5 Pa * 0.06545 m^3] / [8.31 J/k*mol * 291.15k] = 6.492 mol
Avogadro number = 1 mol = 6.022 * 10^23 atoms
Number of atoms = 6.492 mol * 6.022 *10^23 atom/mol = 39.097 * 10^23 atoms = 3.91 * 10^24 atoms
2) Double atoms => double volume
V2 / V1 = r2 ^3 / r1/3
2 = r2 ^3 / r1 ^3 => r2 ^3 = 2* r1 ^3
r2 = [∛2]r1
The factor is ∛2
