Answer #1

According to First law of thermodynamics,

Change in internal energy, E = Q + W

where Q is the energy absorbed by the system

W is the work done on system

Given : E = -65.0 kJ

Q = -45.0 kJ

W = E - Q

W = (-65.0 kJ) - (-45.0 kJ)

W = -65.0 kJ + 45.0 kJ

W = -20.0 kJ        (negative sign indicates work is done by the system)

Work done in the process = 20.0 kJ
