When $150 \ J$ of heat is supplied to a system,the work done by the system is $110 \ J$. The change in the internal energy of the system is ....... $J$.

$1 \ cc$ of water at its boiling point $(100^{\circ} \ C)$ is converted into steam by supplying $540 \ \text{calories}$ of heat. The volume of steam is $1671 \ cc$. If atmospheric pressure is $1.013 \times 10^5 \ \text{Nm}^{-2}$ and $J = 4.18 \ \text{joule/cal}$, the approximate value of heat required to overcome the molecular attraction is ........ $\text{cal}$.

Describe an experiment of Benjamin Thomson regarding the heat produced by work.

$A$ source supplies heat to a system at the rate of $1000 \, W$. If the system performs work at a rate of $200 \, W$,the rate at which the internal energy of the system increases is $....... \, W$.

$A$ system performs work $\Delta W$ when an amount of heat $\Delta Q$ is added to the system. The corresponding change in the internal energy is $\Delta U$. Which of the following is a unique function of the initial and final states (irrespective of the mode of change)?

The first law of thermodynamics is concerned with the conservation of
