Answer

(a) zero (b) $5.1\times 10^{-3}m^3$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $\Delta U=Q-W$ This can be rearranged as: $W=Q-\Delta U$ $\implies P\Delta V=Q-\Delta U$ (As $W=P \Delta V$) This can be rearranged as: $\Delta V=\frac{Q-\Delta U}{P}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta V=\frac{920-920}{110\times 10^3}$ $\Delta V=0$ (b) We know that $\Delta U=Q-W$ This can be rearranged as: $W=Q-\Delta U$ $\implies P\Delta V=Q-\Delta U$ (As $W=P \Delta V$) This can be rearranged as: $\Delta V=\frac{Q-\Delta U}{P}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta V=\frac{920-360}{110\times 10^3}$ $\Delta V=5.1\times 10^{-3}m^3$
