Expert Solution
Step 1) Given Data

Given 1)heat absorbed by surrounding is 4.7 MJ

            2)work done on the system is 19.3 kcal      Here, 

             Heat absorbed by surrounding 

Means 

             Heat released by system

And heat released by system = -ve

And work done on system = +ve

So,

heat absorbed by system = Q =   - 4.7 MJ

 work done on the system = W =   + 19.3 kcal
