First law of thermodynamics is the general law of conservation of energy as applied to heat energy. According to this law, whenever heat is added to a system, it transforms to an equal amount of some other forms of energy. If `dQ=` a small amount of heat supplied to the system, `dW=` small amount of work done by the system and `dU=` small change in internal energy of the system, then `dQ=dU+dW`.
Read the above passage and answer the following questions:
(i) The amount of heat obsorbed by a gas is `10 cals` and work done on the gas in `58J`. Calculate increase in internal energy of the gas.
(ii) What values of life do you learn fron this law?
