Question

The internal energy, E, of a system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all of components of the system.  

 

What is ΔE (in kJ) for a gaseous system that increases the kinetic energy of it particles using 9,904. J of heat from surroundings and changes the potential energy by doing 5.38 kcal of work against the atmosphere at the same time?

 

(Enter your answer with the correct sign and with two decimal places and no units.)

 

{Hint: be cautious of the signs of the values and units; recall 1 cal = 4.184 J. }
