We have,             ∆H          =             ∆U          +             ∆(PV)

=             ∆U          +             P2V2 – P1V1 —           —           (1)

As gases deviates from ideal gas behaviour, we cannot use,  ∆H                =             ∆U          +             ∆nRT

Thus                                      ∆(PV)    =             P2V2 – P1V1

=             40×1 – 70×1

=             – 30 L-atm

=             – 3.0 kJ

Therefore, by (1)             – 560     =             ∆U – 3.0

Therefore,                          ∆U          =             – 557 kJ

At constant volume ∆H = ∆U + V∆P
 
=> -560 = ∆U + 10 x (-30) x 0.1
=>∆U=-530 kJ
Multipled the value with 0.1 to get answer in Joules
