energy. IN other words, energy of system + surroundings is constant.
Therefore, any energy transferred from a system must be transferred to
the surroundings (and vice versa)
Internal energy Correct Answer-The total energy of a system. The sum
of all the kinetic and potential energies of all components of the system.
Change in internal energy Correct Answer-delta E= Efinal-Einitial
