Determine the change in the internal energy of 2 kg2 \text{ kg} of water when it is heated from 0^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C to 4^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J kg−1 K−14200 \text{ J kg}^{-1} \text{ K}^{-1}, while its densities at 0^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C and 4^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C are 999.9 kg m−3999.9 \text{ kg m}^{-3} and 1000 kg m−31000 \text{ kg m}^{-3}, respectively. The atmospheric pressure is 105 Pa10^5 \text{ Pa}.

Options

  1. A33600.02 J33600.02 \text{ J}
  2. B33599.98 J33599.98 \text{ J}
  3. C33602 J33602 \text{ J}
  4. D33600 J33600 \text{ J}

Correct answer

A. 33600.02 J33600.02 \text{ J}

Step-by-step solution

The heat supplied to the water is given by ΔQ=mcΔT\Delta Q = m c \Delta T.

Substituting the given values:

ΔQ=2×4200×(4−0)=33600 J\Delta Q = 2 \times 4200 \times (4 - 0) = 33600 \text{ J}

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 -2×10−7 m32 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^3

The work done by the water against the atmospheric pressure is ΔW=PΔV\Delta W = P \Delta V.

ΔW=105×(−2×10−7)=−0.02 J\Delta W = 10^5 \times (-2 \times 10^{-7}) = -0.02 \text{ J}

According to the first law of thermodynamics, ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W.

ΔU=ΔQ−ΔW=33600−(−0.02)=33600.02 J\Delta U = \Delta Q - \Delta W = 33600 - (-0.02) = 33600.02 \text{ J}
