Chapter 5, Problem 113AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A table with the given headings is to be constructed. Whether each of the given listed quantities is positive, negative or zero is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The change in internal energy of the system is calculated as:

$\Delta \text{U}=q+w$

Here, q is heat and $w$ is work done.

The amount of work done by a pressure-volume work process is calculated as:

$w=-P\Delta V$

Here, P represents the applied pressure and $\Delta V$ is the volume change for material.
