A gas in a piston is compressed doing - 439 j of work, and its internal energy increases by 318 j. how much heat flows? (be careful with + and -. + w = expansion. + q = added, + u = temp goes up)

(unit = j)

    -121 J

    Explanation:

    w = - 439 J

    Q = ?

    U = 318 J

    U = Q-W

    Q = U+W

    = 318 + (-439)

    = 318-439

    = - 121 J
