If a system absorbs $30 \mathrm{~kJ}$ of heat and perform $12 \mathrm{~kJ}$ of work on the surrounding. What is the increase in internal energy of the system?
  1. 18 kJ
  2. 2.5 kJ
  3. 42 kJ
  4. 360 kJ

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \triangle E=\delta Q+\delta W \\ & =30+(-12) \\ & =18 \mathrm{KJ}\end{aligned}$
