Ans : AS per the first law of thermodynamics the energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another .energy of an isolated system is always constant.
mathematical expression for first law of thermodynamics can be written as:
where Is the change in internal energy ,q is the heat and w is the work done by the system.
when work is done by the system it is denoted by the negative sign.w= -P
so,in the question we are having the heat added and the volume change in the system from 3 L to 6 L,pressure given is 3.5 atm.now put the values in the formula given above in solution and we get:
put w as -P (V=V2-V1)
= 8.2 - 3.5(6-3)
= 8.2-3.5*3
=8.2-10.5
=-2.3kJ
The negative change means that the final energy is less than the initial energy.
