Question Detail
Question
An ideal gas is compressed from 400 mL to 60.0 mL against a constant pressure of 8.00 atm, releasing 140 J of heat to the surroundings. What is ΔU?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
w = -(8 * 101325 Pa) * (60 - 400) * 10^-6 m³ = +275.6 J. Heat released means q = -140 J. ΔU = -140 + 275.6 = +135.6 J.
