If \(\Delta Q\) is the heat flowing out of a system, \(\Delta W\) is the work done by the system on its surroundings, and \(\Delta U\) is the decrease in internal energy of the system, then the first law of thermodynamics can be stated as:
1.
\(\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W\)
2.
\(\Delta U=\Delta Q+\Delta W\)
3.
\(\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W\)
4.
\(\Delta U+\Delta Q+\Delta W=0\)
