In the first law of thermodynamics, ΔE=Q−W , what does ΔE stand for?



A. the heat added to the system



B. the internal energy of the system



C. the change in the internal energy of the system



D. the work done by the piston










In a heat engine, 500 J of heat enters the system, and the piston does 300 J of work.


What is the final internal (thermal) energy of the system if the initial energy is 1500 J?



A. 200 J



B. 800 J



C. 1300 J



D. 1700 J




























The thermal energy of a system increases by 600 J, and 1400 J of heat is added to the system.


How much work did the system do?



A. 600 J



B. 800 J



C. 1400 J
