Answer

a. $\Delta U = 0$ b. $4.30\times10^3J $

Work Step by Step

Use the first law of thermodynamics and the definition of internal energy. Work is done by the gas, so W is positive. a. The temperature does not change. $\Delta U = 0$. b. $\Delta U=Q-W$ so $Q=\Delta U+W=0+4.30\times10^3J=4.30\times10^3J $.
