NEET Chemistry First Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

Calculate the change in internal energy (ΔU) for a system where 50 J of heat is added and 30 J of work is done by the system.

A

ΔU = 80 J

B

ΔU = 20 J

C

ΔU = -20 J

D

ΔU = -80 J

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

According to the first law of thermodynamics, ΔU = q + w. Here, q = 50 J and w = -30 J (since work is done by the system), so ΔU = 50 J - 30 J = 20 J.
