Consider a system changing from state 1 to state 2 reversibly. In order for this change of state to occur, 4.45 kJ of heat is transferred from the system to the surroundings, causing the system to expand from 35.4 L to 62.1 L against a final pressure of 4.63 atm.
Calculate the change in internal energy for the system (Usys) in kJ.
If the system returned to state 1 reversibly, completing the cycle, what would be TRUEof wsys,cycle?


Incorrect wsys,cycle > 0
Incorrect wsys,cycle < 0
Correct: wsys,cycle = 0
