Given information
The system absorbs energy from its surroundings. The sign of the internal energy change for the process in which the system absorbs energy from the surroundings is to be predicted.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Internal energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energies of all the particles that make up the system. It is a state function, meaning that the internal energy depends only on the initial and final state of the system and is independent of the path taken in the process.
