Video transcript

Hi everyone here we have a question that tells us, given that Q equals negative 1.375 kg jewels and W. Equals plus 726 jewels, calculate energy and identify if the processes exhaust thermic or endo thermic. So if we have negative heat, that means it is exotic thermic. So that is half of our answer. And now we're going to use the equation Delta E. Equals Q plus W. And we need to know that one. Kill a jewel Equals 10 to the 3rd jewels. So we're going to start off with our negative 1. kg jewels. And we're going to change that to jules first. So we're gonna multiply by 10 to the third jewels Over one. Kill a jewel. And then we're going to add 726 jewels And that is going to equal negative 649 jewels. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.

For the following processes, calculate the change in internal energy of the system and determine whether the process is endothermic or exothermic: (a) A balloon is cooled by removing 0.655 kJ of heat. It shrinks on cooling, and the atmosphere does 382 J of work on the balloon.

Textbook Question

A gas is confined to a cylinder fitted with a piston and an electrical heater, as shown here:

Suppose that current is supplied to the heater so that 100 J of energy is added. Consider two different situations. In case (1) the piston is allowed to move as the energy is added. In case (2) the piston is fixed so that it cannot move. (a) In which case does the gas have the higher temperature after addition of the electrical energy?
