Answer: It is called a Crookes Tube, and he used it to discover cathode rays, which were later determined to be electrons.
Cause their are both have difference s
The change in energy of the system : -63 J
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
279 J work
216 J heat
Required
The change in energy
Solution
Laws of thermodynamics 1
ΔU=Q+W
Rules :
- receives heat, Q +
- releases heat, Q -
- work is done by a system, W -
- work is done on a system, W +
a gas work on the surrounding : W =-279 J
a gas absorb heat from surrounding : Q = +216 J
Internal energy :
= -279+216
= -63 J
