Answer:
The internal energy(ΔE) of a substance is calculated below:
From the first law of thermodynamics;
ΔE=q+w
Explanation:
ΔE=q+w
here;
+q=endothermic reaction
-q=exothermic reaction
+w=work done on the system
-w=work done by the system
Given:
q=+1.62kJ=1620J
w=-874J
To solve:
the internal energy(ΔE)
We know:
ΔE=q+w
according to the problem;
ΔE=q-w
since;
w=-874J (i.e.)work is done by the system.
ΔE=1620-874
ΔE=+746J
Therefore the internal energy is +746J
i.e. the option is "c"(+746J)
