    In a process, 701 J of heat is absorbed by a system and 394 J of work is done by the system. What is the change in internal energy for the process?
    Ans : According to the first law of thermodynamics,

    ΔU = q + W (i)

    Where,

    ΔU = change in internal energy for a process

    q = heat

    W = work

    Given,

    q = + 701 J (Since heat is absorbed)

    W = -394 J (Since work is done by the system)

    Substituting the values in expression (i), we get

    ΔU = 701 J + (-394 J)

    ΔU = 307 J

    Hence, the change in internal energy for the given process is 307 J.
