During an isothermal process,5.0 J of thermal energy via the process of heating is removed from an ideal gas.What is the change in internal (thermal)energy of the gas?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an isothermal process, the temperature of the gas remains constant. Therefore, the internal energy of the gas remains the same. The removal of 5.0 J of thermal energy via the process of heating is balanced by an equal increase in work done by the gas (which is equal to the opposite of the heat absorbed), resulting in no net change in internal energy. Hence, the change in internal energy of the gas is 0 J.
