Re: ∆U = 0
Hello,
∆U = 0 when there q+w=0, which means that there is no heat being exchanged between the system and the surroundings and there is also no work being done by expansion.
I hope this helps!

Re: ∆U = 0
delta U is equal to q + w. This means that when delta U is 0, q + w is also 0. So, if the net heat transfer is equal and opposite to the net work done, then delta U will be zero. Typically, both of these values are 0 for this to happen.

Re: ∆U = 0
Hi!
DeltaU is zero for isolated systems. This is because the energy of an isolated system must remain constant because no matter or heat can be transferred and the system can't be physically changed. When this happens for isothermal reversible expansion equations, the miniscule change in heat is equal to the work done by the system. -q=w
Hope this helps!

Re: ∆U = 0
∆U=0 when there is no change in internal energy. This can happen anytime that -q=w so q+w=0 because q+w=∆U, so you know from the equation that ∆U will be zero, and you can understand that since no net change has occurred, there is no change in internal energy.

Re: ∆U = 0
Delta U=0 for isolated systems since an isolated system cannot exchange matter or energy with its environment it therefore cannot have an internal energy change. Moreover, the fact that the change in internal energy of isolated system is equal to 0 postulates the first law of thermodynamics stating that the internal energy of an isolated system remains constant.
Re: ∆U = 0
When ∆U = 0 and ∆U = q + w, this would imply that q = -w. If the system is doing work, then it is losing energy. However, the energy lost is replaced by heat flow (q) into the system at the same time. This would keep the system at equilibrium, and there is no change in internal energy.

This is when there is no heat being exchanged. Therefore there can be no internal energy change if there is no heat. No change in internal energy as a result.

Re: ∆U = 0
Hello! Delta U is going to be zero in an isolated system. So we know that Delta U is equal to q + w. This would mean that there is no heat being exchanged from the system to surroundings. There is also no work (w) being done to the system either. Hope this helps.

Re: ∆U = 0
Delta U is 0 when q+w is 0 because q+w=delta U; or when q=-w under an isothermal reaction. When delta U=0, internal energy does not change.

Re: ∆U = 0
Internal energy is calculated by adding w(work) + q. This means that whenever there is no work being done on the system or heat being exchanged delta u is zero. Delta U is 0 for isolated systems.

Re: ∆U = 0
This occurs in isolated systems. Since delta U=q+w, when there is no matter or energy being exchanged through heat or expansion/compression (work), q=0 and w=0. Therefore, delta U=0.

Re: ∆U = 0
U is a variable that represents internal energy. The Greek letter delta means "change in," which indicates that delta U means change in internal energy. By definition, isolated systems do not experience a change in internal energy, making delta U equal to zero.

Re: ∆U = 0
Delta U will equal 0 either when q = -w or q = w = 0 because of the equation delta U = q + w.
Re: ∆U = 0
∆U = 0 when there is no work done or heat added since ∆U = q + w. This happens in isolated systems because no heat can be transferred and no work is done either.

When delta U is zero, that means that the energy transferred as heat is equal to the opposite of work done. It means that the system is isolated; there is no energy or matter being exchanged.

Delta U tends to be 0 for closed systems. But you can also have no internal energy is your enthalpy and work cancel each other.

Delta U would equal zero when q+w = 0. This could mean them cancelling each other out or in the case of an isolated system, both of them equaling zero.

When ∆U=0, this means there is no change in energy. This occurs when both heat and work are equal to 0 or when they are opposites so they cancel each other out.

Re: ∆U = 0
∆U = 0 in an isolated system because in an isolated system there is no exchange of matter or energy (in the form of heat or work) between the system and the surroundings (an isolated system is only perfectly isolated in theory / hypothetically), and so (heat exchange) q = 0 and (work) w = 0, (change in internal energy) ∆U = q + w = 0 + 0 = 0, ∆U = 0.

Hey there!
Delta U is equal to zero in an isolated system, meaning that no work or heat can be transferred. In this case, q + w = 0, meaning that delta U would be 0.
I hope this helps!

delta U is equal to q + w so when delta U is 0, q and w are opposite inverses on each other. Basically, net heat transfer is equal to net work done.

Re: ∆U = 0
I believe that there can be different ways in which delta U=0.
#1. Since deltaU=q+w, if q and w are opposites of each other, when we add them together we would get 0.
#2. During isolated systems, no work is being done on the system and thus the internal energy should not change and thus delta U=0.

Change in U is 0 when q and w both add up to equal to 0. This ultimately means that either work and heat are canceling each other out or that they are both at a 0 value.

Re: ∆U = 0
Internal energy is 0 for isothermal processes in reversible expansion (when q=-w). Also when the change in heat and the energy in form of work is 0, the change in internal energy is 0.
Re: ∆U = 0
∆U = 0 usually equals 0 when there is no heat transferred (isothermal). This denotes there isn't a change in internal energy and no work being done on the surroundings.

When, dU=0 the work done by the system is equal to the heat gained by the system or the work done on the system is equal to the heat lost by the system. When there is no heat transfer and no work done, the internal energy does not change.

Re: ∆U = 0
∆U refers to the change in the system's internal energy, so when ∆U is 0, there is no change in the internal energy of the system. ∆U is 0 when heat is equal and opposite signs of the work done on the system. So when heat and work cancel each other out, there will be no change to the internal energy of the system. It is also important to note that, if the temperature is constant, then there will be no change in internal energy in a closed system (thus, ∆U=0).

Re: ∆U = 0
∆U = 0 when the internal energy within the system is not altered at all, which means the temperature is not changing. Since q + w = ∆U, when ∆U=0, q + w = 0. No heat is leaving the system and no heat is being absorbed by the system.
Re: ∆U = 0
Since delta U equals q (energy transferred by heating) + w (energy transferred by compression), when both of these are 0 delta U will also be 0.

Delta U = 0 if q + w = 0. That means that together the heat and the work of the system amount to 0.
