Determine the change in the internal energy of of water when it is heated from 0^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C to 4^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C. The specific heat capacity of water is , while its densities at 0^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C and 4^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C are and , respectively. The atmospheric pressure is .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The heat supplied to the water is given by .
Substituting the given values:
The change in volume of the water is \Delta V = V_2 - V_1 = m \left(\dfrac{1}{\rho_2} - \dfrac{1}{\rho_1} \right).
Substituting the densities:
\Delta V = 2 \left(\dfrac{1}{1000} - \dfrac{1}{999.9} \right) =2 \left(\dfrac{999.9 - 1000}{1000 \times 999.9} \right) = \dfrac{-0.2}{999900} \approx -
The work done by the water against the atmospheric pressure is .
According to the first law of thermodynamics, .
