First Law of Thermodynamics
First law of thermodynamics is a statement of conservation of energy stated as, “The energy put into the system equals the sum of the work done by the system and the change in internal energy of the system”
Q is positive when given to the system
Q is negative when taken from the system
W is positive if it is done by the system
W is negative if it is done on the system
