Expert Solution
Step 1

According to first law of thermodynamics , energy can neither be created nor destroyed it can change from one form to another.

Mathematical form of first law is

∆U = q + w

∆U = change in internal energy

q = amount of heat 

w = work done

According to IUPAC 

Work done by the system is -ve

Work done on the system is +ve

Heat gained by the system is +ve

Heat lost by the system is -ve
