Calculate the change in internal energy of the following system: A balloon is cooled by removing 0.653 kJ of heat. It shrinks on cooling, and the atmosphere does 389 J of work on the balloon. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

ΔE = ‒0.271 kJ

Explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the given variables:

q = -0.653 kJ, w = 0.389 kJ

Using the formula ΔE = q + w

ΔE = -0.653 + 0.388

ΔE = (‒0.655 + 0.382) kJ

ΔE = ‒0.271 kJ

Therefore, the change in internal energy is -271 J or -0.271 kJ which implies that the system is exothermic

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​
