Answer:

+ 900 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the total energy change ΔE = internal energy change ΔU since there is no change in kinetic and potential energy,

ΔE = ΔU

ΔE = Q - W where Q = heat absorbed by system and W = work done by system

Now since the system absorbs 500 J of heat, Q = + 500 J and work of 400 J is done on the system, W = -400 J

So, the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔE = Q - W

ΔE = + 500 J - (-400 J)

ΔE = + 500 J + 400 J

ΔE = + 900 J

So, the internal energy change, ΔE = + 900 J
