A gas expands and does PV work on its surroundings equal to 322 J. At the same time, it absorbs 132 J of heat from the surroundings. Calculate the change in energy of the gas. Note: PV work means work done by a changing volume against constant pressure. Enter your answer in scientific notation.

From the calculations, the change in energy is - 190 J.

What is the first law of thermodynamics?

From the first law of thermodynamics, the energy is neither created nor destroyed but is transformed from one form to another.

From the law;

U = q + w

U = internal energy

q = heat

w = work

Since work is done on the surroundings and the gas absorbs heat then;

U = 132 J - 322 J

U = - 190 J
