Expert Solution
Given Data

Heat transferred = Q = 3.50 × 102 J

Work done = W = 203 J

Change in internal energy = ∆U = ?

Solution

First law of thermodynamics:

It states that the change in internal energy of the system is equal to the net heat transfer to
the system minus the net work done by the system. 

                                                      ∆U = Q - W
Substituting the values,                 

                                                    ∆U = 3.50 × 102 - 203

                                                    ∆U = 147 J

This is the change in internal energy of the system
