    Final Energy is 75.9 kJ

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Heat absorbed, Q = 21.6 kJ

    Work done by the system on the surrounding, W = - 6.9 kJ

    Initial internal energy of the system, Ei = 61.2 kJ

    From the first law of thermodynamics, we have

    Change in energy = Heat absorbed + Work done

    or

    Final energy (Ef) - Initial energy (Ei) = Q + W

    on substituting the values in the above formula, we get

    Ef - 61.2 kJ = 21.6 kJ + ( - 6.9 kJ)

    or

    Ef = 14.7 kJ + 61.2 kJ

    or

    Ef = 75.9 kJ

    Hence, the final Energy is 75.9 kJ
