Explanation / Answer

According to the first law of thermodynamics,

Internal energy = heat + work

or, dU = dQ - pdV .... (1)

In this case since the volume is kept constant, (dV=0) there's no work performed by the system so,

dU = dQ

Now we know that,

dQ = nCvdT .......... (2)

SO2 is a linear molecule, it's given to us that Cv,m = 5/2R

It's also given that n = 0.513 mols and dT = 11.7K

Substituting these values in (2), we get:

dQ = 0.513 mols X 5/2 X 8.314JK-1mol-1 X 11.7K

dQ = 124.75 J

As we've seen in equation (1),

dU = dQ, thus

dU = 124.75 J
