Answer

$\Delta E_{int}=50J$

Work Step by Step

We know that; $\Delta E_{int}=nC_v\Delta T=\frac{5}{2}nR\Delta T$.....eq(1) We also know that; $Q=nC_p\Delta T=\frac{7}{2}nR\Delta T$......eq(2) Dividing eq(1) by eq(2), we obtain: $\frac{\Delta E_{int}}{Q}=\frac{5}{7}$ $\Delta E_{int}=\frac{5}{7}Q$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta E_{int}=\frac{5}{7}(70)=50J$
