An ice cube is placed on a table and begins to melt.  The following conclusion can be made.

Energy  is being created by the ice cube and is being released to the air

Energy is being created by the air and table and making the cube heat up.

Energy is being transferred from the table to the ice cube.

Energy is being absorbed by the table which causes the cube to melt.

A gas is heated by supplying it with 250 kJ of energy; at the same time, it is compressed so that 500 kJ of work is done on the gas. Calculate the change in the internal energy of the gas.
