Apply the First Law of Thermodynamics to answer the following: If a system does 475 J of work on the surroundings and absorbs 745 J of heat, what is the change in internal energy for the process? The change in internal energy for the expansion of a gas sample is -4750 J. How much work is done if the gas sample loses 1125 J of heat to the surroundings? Is this work done by the gas or done by the surroundings?
