Question

Calculate ΔU for a system undergoing an endothermic process absorbing 15.6 kJ of heat while 1.4 kJ of work is done on the system.
Options
A +14.2 kJ
B -14.2 kJ
C +17.0 kJ
Correct Answer
D -17.0 kJ
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Since heat is absorbed, q = +15.6 kJ. Since work is done on the system, w = +1.4 kJ. ΔU = 15.6 + 1.4 = +17.0 kJ.
