Solution
conservation of energy
Heat is a form of energy. Since the first law of thermodynamics deals with the conservation of heat, it actually refers to the conservation of energy in the broader sense.
The first law of thermodynamics is just the restatement of the law of conservation of energy. We observe that the energy supplied to a system will contribute to change in its internal energy and the amount of work done by the system on its surroundings.
