Question:

A sample of gas in a balloon is compressed from 4.50 L to 1.00 L by an external pressure of 1.25 atm . At the same time, 60.0 J of heat is generated. Calculate ΔE.
Strategy

Calculate work using Pext and ΔV, and determine the proper sign on heat. Then use the mathematical statement of the first law of thermodynamics to determine ΔE.
