Asystem absorbs 12 j of heat from the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 j of work is done on the system. what is the change of the internal energy δeth of the system?

The value of change in internal energy of the system is, 40 J.

Explanation : Given,

Heat  absorb from the surroundings = 12 J

Work done on the system = 28 J

First law of thermodynamic : It is a law of conservation of energy in which the total mass and the energy of an isolated system remains constant.

As per first law of thermodynamic,

where,

= internal energy  = ?

q = heat  absorb from the surroundings

w = work done on the system

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the change in internal energy of the system.

Therefore, the value of change in internal energy of the system is, 40J.

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
