In a thermodynamic process pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas releases $20 \,J$ of heat when $8 \,J$ of work was done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was $30 \,J$, then the final internal energy will be ........ $J$

We know by $1^{\text {st }}$ Law of Thermodynamics

$\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W$

$-20 J =\Delta U-8 \,J$

$\because \Delta U=U_{\text {final }}-U_{\text {initial }}$

$\Delta U=-12 \,J$

So, $U_{\text {final }}=U_{\text {initial }}+\Delta U$

$=30+(-12)=18 \,J$
