Answer: -64.1 kJ.
Explanation:
According to first law of thermodynamics:
=Change in internal energy
q = heat absorbed or released
w = work done or by the system
w = work done by the system= {Work is done by the system is negative as the final volume is greater than initial volume}
w = -855 Joules = 0.855 kJ (1kJ=1000J)
q = -65.0 kJ {Heat released by the system is negative}
Thus the change internal energy (ΔE) for a system that is giving off 65.0 kJ of heat and is performing 855 J of work on the surroundings is -64.1 kJ.
