The temperature of 1 mole of a liquid is raised by heating it with 750 joules of energy. It expands and does 200 Joulesjoules of work, calculate the change in internal energy of the liquid.

I want to use the expression: $$\Delta U = \Delta Q + \Delta W$$ so that: $$\Delta U = 750\,\mathrm J- 200\,\mathrm J = 550\,\mathrm J$$

but it strikes me that it can't be that simple (first year college exam paper). Also, of what significance is the '1 mole' of liquid?

Can it be that simple? Internal energy calculation
