Respuesta :

Given data

*The given internal energy is U = 140 J

*The given heat is Q = 60 J

The formula for the work can be done by the gas is given as

[tex]\begin{gathered} Q=U+W \\ W=Q-U \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

[tex]\begin{gathered} W=(60)-(140) \\ =-80\text{ J} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Here the negative sign indicates that the work can be done by the gas.
