Answer

$\Delta E_{int}=15.9J$

Work Step by Step

According to first law of thermodynamics; $Q=\Delta E_{int}+W$ $\Delta E_{int}=Q-W$ We also know that; $W=P\Delta V$ Thus, $\Delta E_{int}=Q-P\Delta V$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta E_{int}=20.9-(1.01\times10^5)(100-50)(\frac{1\times 10^6m^3}{1cm^3})=15.9J$
