A system consisting of a gas contained in a cylinder with a frictionless piston is taken around the closed path a→b→c→a where the process c→a is isothermal. During the closed cycle, the system expels 150 J to the environment. If the heat expelled by the system during the isobaric leg b→c of the cycle is 625 J and the internal energy remains constant during the isothermal leg, what is the change in internal energy ΔU during the process a→b in J?

Question

A system consisting of a gas contained in a cylinder with a frictionless piston is taken around the closed path a→b→c→a where the process c→a is isothermal. During the closed cycle, the system expels 150 J to the environment.

If the heat expelled by the system during the isobaric leg b→c of the cycle is 625 J and the internal energy remains constant during the isothermal leg, what is the change in internal energy ΔU during the process a→b in J?
