    LESSON 2: THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS:


    Thermal Energy and Work

    ACTIVITY
    Watch the video. The video describes work from expansion (or- pressure- volume work). Sal
    combines the equations W=PΔV and AU=Q-PΔV.

    ANALYSIS

    1. If the volume of a system increases while pressure remains constant, is the value of work
    done by the system W positive or negative?
     An increase in the system while pressure is remains constant; the value of work done by the
    system is “positive”.

    2. Will this increase or decrease the internal energy of the system?


     It will decrease because an increase in volume decreases the internal pressure of a system as
    the system does work.
    APPLICATION

    Solve the problem below:

    1. What is the pressure-volume work done by a system if a pressure of 20Pa causes a change in
    volume of ?
    Answer:
    Given:

    Solution:

    ( )( )

    2. What is the net heat out of the system when 25J is transferred by heat into the system and
    45J transferred out of it?

    Solution:

    ( ) ( )
    ASSESSMENT

    Read the questions and answer them on space provided.

    1. Identify the type of energy transferred to your body in each of the following as either internal
    energy, heat transfer, or doing work:

    a. Basking in sunlight –HEAT TRANSFER (heat of the sun gets transferred to the body);
    b. Eating food –INTERNAL ENERGY (Eating food gives us energy which is stored in our body
    as internal energy);
    c. Riding an elevator to a higher floor –DOING WORK (against gravity to increase potential
    energy).

    2. How much heat transfer occurs from a system, if its internal energy decreased by 150 J while
    it was doing 30.0J of work?
    Given:
    ΔU = 150J
    ΔW = 30 J
    ΔQ =?
    Solution:
    ΔQ= ΔU + ΔW
    = -150 J + 30 J
    = -120 J
    120 J is transferred from the system to its environment.

    3. How do heat transfer and internal energy differ? In particular, which can be stored as such in
    a system and which cannot?
     Heat transfers a process in which, due to the temperature difference, heat energy is
    transferred from one system to another. The total energy is the energy sum of kinetic and
    potential energy of the molecules.
     Heat transfer cannot be stored whereas internal energy can be stored.

    4. When is pressure-volume work said to be done ON a system?


     Whenever there is a change in volume and external pressure remains constant, pressure –
    volume work is taking place. So, it means that the system is NEGATIVE. During a
    compression, a decrease in volume increases the internal pressure of a system as work is
    done ON the system.

    5. What are the ways to add or remove energy from a system?


     Transferring energy by heat is the only way to add energy to or remove energy from a
    system.
     Doing compression work is the only way to add energy to or remove energy from a
    system.
     Doing expansion work is the only way to add energy to or remove energy from a system.
