In the equation for the First Law of Thermodynamics Q IE l

In the equation for the First Law of Thermodynamics, Q = IE + latent heat + X, what does the \'X\' refer to: heat thermal energy sensible heat WORK

Solution

X is sensible heat . As first law of thermodynamics states that if we give some heat to a system it will perfrom definate work and an amount of energy stored in it called internal energy . heat given to system is goes to three parts first to latent heat( that is phrase transformation) , second to sensible heat (that is heating of system), and to internal energy if we suppose no work is produced.
