Thermodynamics - Result Question 1

1. $1 g$ of water, of volume $1 cm 3$ at $100^{\circ} C$, is converted into steam at same temperature under normal atmospheric pressure $(» 1 \times 10^{5} Pa)$. The volume of steam formed equals $1671 cm^{3}$. If the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is $2256 J / g$, the change in internal energy is,

(a) $2256 J$

(b) $2423 J$

(c) $2089 J$

(d) $167 J$

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) $\Delta Q=2256 \times 1=2256 J$

$\Delta W=P[V _{\text{steam }}-V _{\text{water }}] \quad[\because d w=p d v]$

$=1 \times 105[1671-1] \times 106=167 J$

As $\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W$

$2256=\Delta U+167$

$\Delta U=2089 J$
