Q: A gas absorbs 13 J of heat and then performs 13 J of work. The change in internal energy of the gas is

$$\Delta E = q + w = 13\ \text{J} + (-13\ \text{J}) = 0\ \text{J}$$

Q: Calculate the work gained or lost by the system when a gas contracts from 35 L to 15 L against a constant external pressure of 1.5 atm. ($$w = -P \Delta V$$; 1 L atm = 101.3 J)

$$w = -1.5\ \text{atm} \times (15\ \text{L} - 35\ \text{L}) = -1.5 \times (-20) = +30\ \text{L atm} = +3.0\ \text{kJ}$$
